TJX Cos., owner of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, and Burlington Stores Inc. closed not only stores, but also distribution centers and online operations. Ross Stores Inc. never had an e-commerce option. The thinking is that the web was never that big a factor in their combined $65 billion in annual sales, so by cutting costs to a minimum they'll have cash to scoop up excess inventory that will turn into tasty bargains once they're able to reopen their doors.
