Company Profile
HomeSense is a retailer, so this page carries no marketplace shop box; the button above leads to the Canadian chain's official site. Its growth has outrun its own record - 68 stores at the end of 2006 and a believed Canadian ceiling of about 80, against well over 150 Canadian stores today - and the Homesense name now fronts TJX home stores in the United States, the U.K. and Ireland as well.
The plans in the filing were characteristically methodical: three additional HomeSense stores in 2007, and a long-term belief that 'the Canadian market can support approximately 80 HomeSense stores.' Run through Winners - TJX Canada's founding chain - HomeSense gave Canadian shoppers the same treasure-hunt home offer that HomeGoods had proven south of the border since 1992.
From 68 Canadian Stores to Three Countries
HomeSense outgrew its Canadian brief in both directions. In Canada it passed the 80-store ceiling its 2006 record imagined, growing well beyond 150 stores as TJX Canada's home banner; and the name travelled - TJX launched Homesense in the United States in 2017 as a sister concept to HomeGoods, and Homesense stores also trade in the U.K. and Ireland under TJX International.
The concept's constant is the one in its first description: home fashions bought opportunistically and sold at off-price values, in a store that never looks the same twice. This page profiles the historical record Canadian chain; its official site, linked above, carries current stores and ranges.
