If you’re hanging out in St. Louis Park and looking for a "treasure hunt" fix, you have to hit up the T.J. Maxx & HomeGoods combo at 8322 MN-7. Located right in the Knollwood Village area, this is one of those glorious "superstores" where two of the best discount shops are rolled into one giant building. It’s a total lifesaver for locals in the 55426 zip code because you can find a designer handbag and a set of high-end patio chairs without even having to move your car. It’s got that high-energy, bargain-hunter vibe where you never know what you’re going to find, but you know it’ll be a steal.
The real benefit of this specific location is the HomeGoods side of the house. Since it’s a combo store, the home decor section is massive. If you’re trying to spruce up an apartment or a house in the West Metro, this is the goldmine for unique area rugs, high-end cookware, and those weirdly specific seasonal decorations that make a place feel like home. They get new shipments practically every day, so if you see a lamp or a mirror you love, you’d better grab it—because by the time you come back after a coffee run at the nearby Starbucks, someone else probably already has it in their cart.
Over on the T.J. Maxx side, the "Runway" and designer labels are the big draw. They consistently stock high-end name brands and skincare products that usually cost double at the fancy department stores downtown. It’s the perfect spot to hunt for quality winter gear—which we all know is a survival skill here in Minnesota—or a fresh pair of sneakers. The beauty aisle is also a hidden gem, packed with salon-grade shampoos and Korean skincare gems that make it easy to treat yourself without feeling guilty about the price tag.
They keep really convenient hours that work for the early birds and the "I need a new throw pillow at 9:00 PM" crowd alike. T.J. Maxx & HomeGoods is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM, and on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It’s right off Highway 7, so it’s super easy to swing by on your way home from work. It’s clean, the staff is used to the fast pace, and the checkout line usually moves way faster than you’d expect for a place this popular. It’s basically the ultimate one-stop shop for looking good and making your home look even better.
