TJ Hughes, a trading name of LHR Holding Limited, is a British discount department store brand which first emerged in Liverpool in 1912.

In the 1990s and 2000s, TJ Hughes expanded significantly by acquiring locations from other retailers and continued to grow into the 2010s, including filling vacancies left by Woolworths.

However, in March 2011, the company was sold to turnaround firm Endless LLP after financial struggles, including the loss of credit insurance for suppliers.

[5] During the 1990s and 2000s, TJ Hughes took over a number of premises formerly occupied by other retailers including Allders (Ipswich, Redditch), C&A (Glasgow, Romford and Hull), House of Fraser (Sheffield and Eastbourne) and Co-operative Group (Warrington, Bradford, Doncaster and Crawley).

[3] Endless bought TJ Hughes from Silverfleet Capital, who had overseen growth of around twenty stores since taking control of the firm in 2003.

[6] The sale followed reports that TJ Hughes had been hit by the withdrawal of credit insurance for its suppliers after a battle to secure working capital.

[9] On 7 July 2011, GA Europe acquired Endless’ secured debt due from TJ Hughes and announced plans to work with administrators Ernst & Young to liquidate stock[10] from the retail chain’s 57 stores.

[12] On 1 August, Lewis Home Retail, a company associated with Speke based Benross Group, acquired the TJ Hughes brand and website together with the flagship Liverpool store as well as the Eastbourne, Glasgow and Sheffield locations.

[13][14] On 4 August, Ernst & Young announced the closure of the first twenty two unsold TJ Hughes stores throughout the United Kingdom.

The Company stated in 2015 that it may seek to open as many as 55 stores in total,[17] by 2019 reaching 29, including several in locations formerly occupied by BHS and Toys-R-Us.

Since the beginning of 2023 the number of TJ Hughes stores has returned to growth, with four new branches and re-location of another two, including a move from the Company's original London Road home to a new Central Liverpool location.

The aim of the somewhat unusual series of ads was apparently to eschew passing on the costs of celebrity endorsement to customers, which TJ Hughes claims is the case for a number of its competitors.

The TJ Hughes website, designed by local digital agency YOMA,[58] was ranked 108,004 worldwide and 5,237 in the United Kingdom according to Alexa.
