A large TK Maxx store at a Derby retail park could be set to be turned into a discount homeware shop operated by its sister company.
Plans have recently been lodged with Derby City Council to put up new signage at the existing TK Maxx outlet at Kingsway Retail Park.
The signage reveals that the store, which currently sells a range of fashions and accessories for the home, could be rebranded as a TK Maxx Homesense outlet.
The Homesense brand was launched in the 海角视频 more than a decade ago - and there are currently more than 50 stores across the country.
According to the firm鈥檚 website, Homesense offers branded homeware with savings of up to 60%.
It states: 鈥淗omesense operates a unique 鈥榦ff-price鈥 concept which offers quality and branded homeware with savings up to 60% everyday.
鈥淭hese savings are passed on to customers through a combination of opportunistic buying, established relationships with manufacturers and simple, no-frills operations.
鈥淥ur buyers are on the hunt throughout the year for the hottest brand names and unique homeware for every room in the home - including kitchen and gourmet cookware, furniture and lighting, decorative items, wall art, bedding and bathroom accessories, toys and seasonal decor.

Homesense is part of TJX Europe, a subsidiary of TJX Companies, which also owns the TK Maxx brand.
In documents submitted to the city council by rpa:vision, on behalf of TJX 海角视频, it reveals that the retailer wants to put up three Homesense logo signs at the store and another sign which says 鈥楢 Match Made in Big Brand Heaven鈥.
The Kingsway Retail Park totem sign would also be amended to reflect the Homesense brand.
The future of TK Maxx鈥檚 Kingsway unit has been subject to speculation ever since the retailer opened another Derby store in Albion Street, in the city centre, in February last year.
At the time, TK Maxx said it would be retaining its Kingsway store - but in August, the owner of the retail park, St James鈥檚 Place Property Unity Trust, applied to the city council to turn the TX Maxx unit into three smaller shops.
Permission was granted last autumn but the work has not been carried out.
