The off-price retailer Ross Stores Inc. has kicked off the summer by opening 47 new stores nationwide during June and July, including 35 Ross Dress for Less and 12 DD’s Discount locations across states and territories.
With these new openings, the company says it is on track to open approximately 110 stores this year.
The expansion comes as Ross Stores continues to thrive financially. For its quarter ended 2 May, income totalled $650M, with earnings per share of $2.02 for the quarter, compared to net income of $479M and earnings per share of $1.47 in the year-ago period. Sales jumped 21 per cent to $6bn, up from $5bn, while comparable sales rose 17 per cent.
“Each new opening allows us to deliver compelling value to even more customers while creating new jobs and making a positive impact in the local communities,” said Richard Lietz, Executive VP of Property Development at Ross Stores Inc. “Building on the strong new store performance in 2025 and the spring openings this year, we are excited to grow Ross’ store base in Puerto Rico, New York and Michigan while also continuing to deepen our presence in key Sunbelt states. For DD’s, we are also pleased to expand within our existing markets in California, Florida, North Carolina and Texas.”
Headquartered in Dublin, California, Ross Stores Inc. operates 1,952 Ross Dress for Less stores in 44 states and 376 DD’s Discounts stores in 23 states.
