The new T.J. Maxx just opened today and hordes of people showed up ready to shop as if they were giving the discounted designer clothing and goods away. Opening in the old space where high- end home furnishings store Conrans occupied for years, T.J. Maxx is looking to fill the gap that Conrans couldn’t after the economy tumbled and took people’s wallets with it. 407 East 59th Street. www.tjmaxx.com
