While other retailers are sweating over tariffs and potential stock shortages, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls are sitting pretty—their whole business thrives on snapping up leftover inventory from brands and department stores. In fact, parent company TJX actually boosted store inventories by 7%, proving that their "treasure hunt" model works even when trade wars disrupt normal retail.

What This Mean: This isn’t just about bargain bins—it’s a lesson in how some companies turn chaos into opportunity. While traditional retailers panic over supply chains, off-price stores like T.J. Maxx thrive on unpredictability. It’s a reminder that in retail, one company’s headache is another’s windfall.
