TJX

The retailer, struggling with its supply chain, reported a second-quarter decline in sales too.

With traditional retailers such as Macy's and Nordstrom foraying into discounts, off-price stores like T.J. Maxx and Burlington Stores are struggling to boost sales.

With comparable sales growth of 6 percent, TJX joins Nordstrom as one of the second quarter’s retail winners.

HBC's shedding of Gilt Groupe is just another indication that the off-price market isn't fool-proof.

Online shopping has taken a toll on traditional brick-and-mortar stores, but TJX  has not seen huge cuts in inventory and store closures.
