Why you can't find the biggest brands at TJMaxx right now
CNN
Bummer for bargain hunters: It may be harder to snag designer clothes at TJ Maxx, Burlington and Ross.
These discount chains thrive when there is a glut of clothing in the market. They can scoop in and buy premium apparel and shoe brands' excess inventory for cheap — and then sell it to customers at bargain prices. The problem right now: There's very little unsold clothing sitting around.
Supply chains are choked off and brands don't have as much, if any, extra stuff to dump. And since inventories are lean and customer demand is red hot, brands don't have as great a need to discount merchandise — they can easily sell items at full price.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
