Shoppers in Scottsboro and surrounding areas are smiling. Two long-anticipated big box retailers are now open for business. Publix and T.J. Maxx in Scottsboro have been welcomed to the community by super fans, open wallets, and in one case, the Scottsboro Pep Band and Dance Line!
Grand openings and more
Both stores celebrated their official grand openings within the last few weeks.
T.J. Maxx was the first to open with festivities that included the pep band and dance line on Friday, October 23rd. They also let the first customer in line—who arrived at 3:30 a.m.—cut the ribbon.
Publix celebrated its grand opening on Wednesday, November 2nd.
Bringing the stores to Scottsboro
The arrival of Publix and T.J. Maxx in Scottsboro didn’t happen overnight.
According to reports, it took more than six years to get the proposed development, now known as the Shops of Scottsboro, underway. In fact, it’s been more than a year since city officials and developers broke ground on the site.
