"I hate to see them go," Metro Councilwoman Jacobia Dowell told The Tennessean. "I know it's one of higher-performing T.J. Maxx in our market. I think we'll see more retail in the community with the Century Farms development."

Century Farms is the massive development under construction in Antioch and the future home of Ikea.
