Crews have been hard at work at the future location of the Cornelia TJ Maxx, located in the old K-Mart shopping center, and bargain hunters could be shopping in style as soon as this summer.
Construction has been a challenge for businesses nationally, and the project was originally slated for completion by the spring of 2022. In October, the City of Cornelia said that due to supply chain issues, the discount department store likely wouldn’t open until the fall.
But with progress moving along better than expected and crews working on the inside of the building, TJ Maxx could be ready to open for business by the end of the summer, according to Cornelia Community Development Director, Jessie Owensby.
The TJ Maxx will be another new addition to the Habersham Village Shopping Center, with Bealls Outlet opening in the summer of 2021 and a Dunkin’ Donuts in progress in the same shopping center.
