History
Sierra Trading Post was founded in Sparks, Nevada, in 1986. It was acquired for an estimated $200 million by Framingham, Massachusetts-based TJX Companies in 2012. The original Sierra Trading Post had 500 square feet (46 m2) of office space. The existing stores average 18,000 sqft of operating space. The business claims to hold to three guiding principles: giving optimal customer service, maintaining low operating costs to increase customer savings, and "treat others as we would want to be treated". On January 12, 2009, during the financial crisis, Sierra Trading Post laid off approximately 130 employees at the retail and outlet store (and fulfillment center) in Cheyenne, a first in the company's history.
