Gordmans is owned by Stage Stores, Inc., which also operates Bealls, Goody’s, Palais Royal, Peebles and Stage off-price stores.
Off-price retailers like Gordmans are able to offer lower prices than traditional retailers by buying merchandise from manufacturers at a discount and then passing the savings on to consumers. Gordmans carries a wide variety of merchandise, including apparel for women, men and children; shoes; home decor; gifts; toys; and beauty products.
Gordmans is similar to TJ Maxx in that both stores offer discounted prices on brand-name merchandise. However, TJ Maxx is a national chain with locations across the United States, while Gordmans is primarily located in the Midwest. Additionally, TJ Maxx offers an online shopping option, while Gordmans does not.
