Ross Stores opened 16 Ross Dress for Less and three dd’s Discounts locations in 14 different states during March as part of the company’s plan to add about 90 new stores by the end of the current fiscal year.
The company intends to open 80 Ross and 10 dd’s Discounts across the United States in fiscal 2025. It currently operates 1,847 Ross Dress for Less locations in 44 states, the District of Columbia and Guam, Ross noted, as well as 358 dd’s Discounts in 22 states.
“This spring, we continued to expand the store base of both Ross and dd’s,” said Richard Lietz, Ross executive vice president, property development. “Specifically for Ross, we expanded our presence in the newer markets of Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York, while dd’s growth primarily focused on existing markets of California, Georgia and Texas. As we look out over the long term, we remain confident that Ross can grow to 2,900 locations and dd’s Discounts can become a chain of 700 stores given consumers’ ongoing focus on value and convenience.”
