The City of Brownwood issued the following press release Friday:

The City of Brownwood recently announced two upcoming shopping additions for the area. A TJ Maxx department store is expected to open in early 2023 in their new location in Commerce Square. The Brownwood Municipal Development District entered into an economic development incentive agreement with Commerce Station LP to assist with the costs for remodeling in the former Bealls location.

Approximately 20,000 square feet of retail space located at Commerce Square, 509 W. Commerce Street, is expected to be remodeled in anticipation of the TJ Maxx store opening. The new store will offer affordable apparel and household items.

Boot Barn is also expected to open in Commerce Square in 2023. Boot Barn offers boots, jeans, hats, shirts, outerwear, protective work wear, flame-resistant apparel, belts, and accessories for western and work customers. For over 30 years Boot Barn has focused on providing superior service and the largest selection of quality brands.

“We are very happy to add these shopping opportunities to our community,” Brownwood Mayor Stephen Haynes said. “Clothing and footwear have been frequent requests from our residents, and it’s very exciting to be able to help bring TJ Maxx and Boot Barn to Brownwood.”
