The Outer Banks Sentinel announced that T.J. Maxx is heading for the OBX.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:  “National retailer TJ Maxx has applied for and received permits needed to remodel 26,000 square feet of the building that until recently housed the Food Lion store next to Staples in Nags Head.

Nags Head Building Inspector Ronnie Ballance said that the contractor who is to do the work said that they expect the construction to be finished in approximately five months.

Food Lion holds the lease on the building and the contract does not expire for 18 months, however, the grocery chain is expected to agree to terminate so that TJ Maxx can move forward with its plans.”
