Lewis Retail plans three store openings this year, followed by eight in 2013, which would take its total store count to 17.
The firm - part of The Benross Group, which was a supplier to TJ Hughes - has signed for a former MFI store in Bury, Greater Manchester, which will open in the next three months.
Benross Group managing director Anil Juneja said the 11 new stores would be a mixture of reopenings of closed TJ Hughes shops as well as new locations such as the Bury store.
He said: "It’s still a much-loved brand and our aim is for it to be a nationwide chain again. We want it to be bigger than it was during its former glory."
Lewis Retail bought the brand, six stores and website of TJ Hughes following its collapse into administration last June.
Lewis Retail acquired its Liverpool flagship, Glasgow, Sheffield, Eastbourne, Newcastle and Widnes stores.
