National Retailer Plans To Open Store At Groton Shopping Plaza

GROTON, CT — T.J. Maxx has signed on to bring a store to Groton. The deal was announced by Charter Realty on the broker's Facebook page.

The national retailer will open at the Groton Shoppers Mart at 925 Poquonnock Road.

"This deal highlights our strong tenant representation capabilities, as Dan Zelson of Charter Realty worked closely with TJ Maxx to secure this ideal location," Charter Realty wrote.

The clothing retailer will move into a 24,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Ocean State Job Lots and a few inline tenants, The Connecticut Scoop reported. T.J. Maxx's other location in Groton at 670 Long Hill Road is anticipated to close when the new location opens.

The Groton Shoppers Mart, anchored by a Big Y, was sold for $15.1 million in November. The four-building, 171,858-square-foot shopping center was slated for "substantial improvements," according to reports at the time.

The joint buyer was Stamford-based Broadview Real Estate Partners and Sigmund Cos., headquartered in Washington, D.C.
