Marshalls coming to Fairhope in former Big Lots property

After more than a year of vacancy, plans for the former Big Lots location in Fairhope have finally been shared.

Herrinton Realty announced Monday, March 30 that Marshalls, a nationally-recognized retailer owned by TJ Maxx parent company TJX, would open in the 28,000-square-foot space.

Big Lots closed in Fairhope in February 2025 alongside all 21 of Alabama’s other locations after the corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2024. Located in the Eastern Shore Village Shopping Center, the large retail property being unoccupied was a concern for local officials.

The new Marshalls will be the second Baldwin County location, joining Foley’s store. No opening date has been set.
