The TJX Companies, an off-price apparel and home fashion retailer, has announced a definitive agreement for a joint venture (JV) with Grupo Axo, an operator of international brands in Mexico and South America.  

The JV will incorporate Axo’s existing off-price, physical store business in Mexico, which currently operates 200 stores under the Promoda, Reduced and Urban Store brands.  

TJX will hold a 49% stake while Axo will own 51%.  

The transaction is contingent upon applicable antitrust clearance in Mexico and is set to complete later in 2024 with financial details to be disclosed post-closure. 

TJX CEO and president Ernie Herrman said: “As the world’s retail leader in off-price apparel and home fashions, we are excited about the opportunity to expand to Mexico through our partnership with Axo and grow and enhance that country’s leading off-price retailer.   

“With TJX’s decades of experience as an international, off-price retailer, and Axo’s established base of over 200 off-price stores and 30 years of operating experience in Mexico, we see excellent potential to grow in another region and deliver our value proposition to a growing population of fashion and value-conscious consumers in Mexico.”
