Get ready for a big day of shopping at Lake Lorraine.

Marshalls and HomeGoods will open at 8 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 19. The 42,000-square-foot space is a combination store, so shoppers will use a common check-out area.

Marshalls is one of the nation’s largest off-price retailers, carrying design and brand-name apparel, accessories, luggage and beauty products. HomeGoods is an off-price store for home fashions, offering merchandise at 20 percent to 60 percent less than prices at department and specialty stores. The businesses are still hiring.

Grand-opening hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Regular store hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Carter’s OshKosh B’gosh also opens at 8 a.m. Oct. 19. The store sells clothing and shoes for infants through 8-year-olds. Regular hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
