Hi,Found these today in Belfast.
Just the two pictured, that was in Boucher Road. Haven't been into the city centre one for a while.Hi,
Did you find any green proraso cream in the tkmax in the city centre? I checked the Newtownabbey one and they had the blue/white there too.
I've seen the white in the city centre and Bangor, but no green.Hi,

i got the top one from my local tk max few months backI got these two in TK Maxx Altrincham today - they only had one other tube of the green in stock, plus a couple of bottles of the red lid pre-shave in glass jars. I have the menthol "pre barba" already, but not sure what the red top signifies.
Anyhoo, worth a punt for only £2.99 each - gives me something else to play around with

We have Marshalls and HomeSense around here, along with TJ Maxx, and Winners is in California.In Canada they trade under the names Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls. From a male perspective they are a hit and miss proposition for clothing and grooming supplies compared with the selections for women.
There was also a discounter called TJ Morris, now known as Home Bargains...Didn't know, had to look.........
TJ Maxx has a different name in Europe and Australia, and there’s a simple reason why

TJ Maxx offers discounts on designer brands. Business Insider/Mary Hanbury
- TJ Maxx is one of America’s most iconic retailers, with 1,231 stores across the country. TK Maxx, its sister store, has a similar reputation in the UK, though it has far fewer stores.
- When TJ Maxx opened in the UK in 1994, it changed its name to avoid being confused with the UK-based discount-department-store chain TJ Hughes. That retailer currently has 24 locations.
- Primark, a low-cost apparel store, also has a different name in the country where it originated.
TJ Maxx is one of America’s most iconic retailers. It has 1,231 stores across the country and is a brand that most people either know of, have seen, or have shopped at before.
TK Maxx has a similar standing in the UK, where it has 367 stores.
What is less known, however, is that these seemingly identical stores, with matching logos, fonts, and even colour schemes, are connected and yet have different names.
The mystery behind TK Maxx
TJ Maxx, the off-price store concept, was founded in the US in 1977, when its first two stores opened in Auburn and Worcester, Massachusetts.
In almost two decades, its parent company, now TJX Companies, expanded across the United States and Canada, opening new stores and acquiring chains under the company umbrella.
In 1994, it crossed the Atlantic and set up in the UK and Ireland, where there was – and still is – a discount-department-store chain called TJ Hughes. That retailer currently has 24 locations.
TJ Hughes has been around since 1912 and was an established department store offering “premium brands at discounted prices” – an offering not too dissimilar from TJ Maxx. To avoid confusion, the US store decided to change its name to TK Maxx.
Today, there are 590 TK Maxx stores across Europe and Australia, and they are all fully owned by TJX Companies.
It isn’t just TJ Maxx that’s had to change its name to avoid confusion. Primark, a European-headquartered, low-cost store, had a similar problem in the 1970s. The store was originally called Penneys when it was founded in Dublin, Ireland, but was forced to change its name to Primark when it moved to the UK because JCPenney, the US department store, was already registered there.
My local store is very organised.i can’t stand the place & never go in it.
to me iv seen better organised car boot sales.
There never seems to be anything tidy,
it’s like a free for all with people dot giving a Sh1t.
