You’ve seen the signs, Hilton Head Island, now get ready to shop.

Homesense has an opening date for its store in Sea Turtle Marketplace. The national retailer that specializes in furniture and home decor will fill the space left vacant when Stein Mart closed in 2020.

The Hilton Head store will be the furniture and home decor retailer’s first location in South Carolina. It will be just over 29,000 square feet and take up the entire former Stein Mart space.

According to a job listing posted on Facebook, employees will report to work on Monday, May 27, and the grand opening will be Thursday, June 20.

Six separate job listings at TJXjobs.com sought to fill the following positions, ranging in pay from $16 to $18.50 per hour:

  • Sales associate

  • Store cleaning associate

  • Backroom supervisor

  • Customer engagement supervisor

  • Department supervisor

  • Key carrier supervisor

TJX, the owner of the Homesense brand of stores, also owns T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, Home Goods and Sierra.

There is a Home Goods and a T.J. Maxx on Hilton Head and a Marshall’s just over the bridge in the area around Tanger 2 outlet mall in Bluffton.

In northern Beaufort County, Home Goods is expected to open May 30 in Beaufort Station, the same day T.J. Maxx moves into its new location there.

Calls to representatives for Homesense were not immediately returned.
