Marshalls to close downtown D.C. store
Marshalls plans to close its store in the National Press Building by 14th and F streets NW later this month, adding another big block of empty retail space to downtown D.C.’s commercial real estate marketat a time of already elevated vacancy rates. After making it through the holiday shopping season, the store plans to shutter Jan. 14, according to The TJX Cos. Inc. (NYSE: TJX), which owns Marshalls, HomeGoods and Sierra, among other brands. The decision to close was part of an ongoing assessment of the company's footprint, TJX spokesman Andrew Mastrangelo told the Washington Business Journal in an email.
