So previously I had mentioned that Homesense/Marshalls would be one floor of the former Sears in HSC now I hear it will just be a giant 48k sq.ft Marshalls (Winners across the street in 25k) but that is not all for TJX in 2019 I also hear that Winners will be moving to the Target end of Mic Mac and Homesense will move over to its own separate store in Dartmouth Crossing and there is also a chance that the former Bedford Common Future Shop will become a Homesense as well.
