Those who have travelled to the US will have noticed that the popular off-price retailer TK Maxx has a slightly different name.
Although exactly the same company, with the same logo, the store is called TJ Maxx in the US – and TK Maxx in Europe and Australia.
The store is actually American, with more than 1,200 retailers across the country. It first opened its doors in 1977, and the first UK store was opened in 1994.
A TikToker recently spoke about her experience working at TK Maxx, including it's 'wild customers', but she also divulged some eye-opening information about TK Maxx has a different name in the UK.
In a video, Louise May explained that TJ Maxx is an American store "but they're called TK Maxx in the UK, not TJ Maxx because there was a company too similar, but it is American.
"When you sign all your pay slips and your documents when you work there it's all under TJ Maxx."
Bosses decided to change the name to avoid confusion with discount department store TJ Hughes, which first emerged in Liverpool in 1912.
But it didn't stop there – Louise went on to explain exactly why they chose the letters "TK" – and it's nothing to do with it being "UK", which Louise first thought.
She explained: "I thought they named it K because it was coming to the UK, but it turns out it was just the next letter in the alphabet."
One person shared: "My God I have always wondered why the letters changed. Thank you!"
Another person said: "I was thinking when you said it, is it because it's the next letter. I didn't think it would actually be the reason!"
A third said: "Ohhh that makes sense."
TK Maxx is a off-price store, offering incredible discounts of up to 60% off recommended retail price.
Although some huge bargains are to be had, it turns out you have to know where to look.
The numbers on the tags form 'cheat codes' which can indicate if you've found a top bargain.
A Channel 5 documentary recently revealed that if there is a number 2 on the label, it means that the item is "genuine excess stock", which means it is sold for a higher price elsewhere.
It's worth remembering that although there's an impressive amount of designer brands on sale, a lot of them specifically produce lines for TK Maxx.
