The discount retailer, Ross Stores has a vision for expansion as it continues to move into new markets. The off-pricer opened 19 stores and seven dd’s Discounts outlets across nine different states in February and March. The locations are part of the company’s plans to add approximately 100 new stores.
“These recent openings reflect our ongoing plans to continue building our presence in both existing and newer markets, including the Midwest for Ross, and expansion of dd’s Discounts into Indiana, as we look out over the long-term, we remain confident that Ross can grow to 2,400 locations and dd’s discounts can become a chain of 600 stores given consumers’ ongoing focus on value.” – Gregg McGillis, group executive VP, property development.
