Anyone who’s been to my apartment in Amsterdam knows it’s basically a TK Maxx showroom. I’ve got everything from decorative cushions, geometric photo frames, and soft blankets, to fancy dresses, floral blouses, and comfy pyjamas. Maybe it’s my British roots supporting a British subsidiary. Maybe it’s my Dutch side always on the hunt for a good bargain. Whatever it is, TK Maxx is celebrated in every corner of my little studio.
The biggest TK Maxx in The Netherlands, right here in Amsterdam
On May 12th 2022, TK Maxx opened its 15th Dutch shop in a massive warehouse on Damrak 79. With five floors and over 4,000 square metres of space, it’s the biggest TK Maxx in the Netherlands. Whether you’re into fashion, interior design, homewear, beauty or self-care products, this shop has something for everyone — and for a great price, too.
The most wheelchair-friendly shop on the Damrak
TK Maxx has great wheelchair accessibility. Dare I say it may even be the most wheelchair-friendly shop on the Damrak?
TK Maxx is wheelchair-friendly because:
The entrance is smooth, wide, and threshold-free.
It’s spacious, with plenty of room to manoeuvre between aisles.
The mirrors throughout the shop are floor-to-ceiling.
There are lifts to every floor.
Products are displayed at various heights, meaning customers can also see a lot while seated in a wheelchair.
There is an accessible fitting room for wheelchair users.
There is clear accessibility signposting leading to the wheelchair-friendly fitting room.
The countertops are low enough for customers to use and pay while seated in a wheelchair.
The wheelchair-friendly fitting room
The TK Maxx wheelchair-friendly fitting room has a lot of accessibility features. It includes:
Good lighting
Lots of space to manoeuvre
A floor-to-ceiling mirror
A built-in seat
Grab rails
Low hooks and bars for clothing
A grab bar on the inside of the (lightweight) door
