Ross Stores opening 90 stores in 2015

Dublin, Calif. -- Ross Stores recently opened 32 Ross Dress for Less stores and five dd’s Discounts locations across 15 different states. The openings are part of the off-price retailer’s 2015 expansion plans to open a total of approximately 90 stores in 2015 (70 Ross and 20 dd’s Discounts).



“These openings reflect our ongoing plans to further increase our presence in existing markets while also expanding in the newer markets which we entered back in 2011,” said Jim Fassio, president and chief development officer. “The 37 stores we recently opened include locations in our largest states of California, Texas and Florida, where we are still able to take advantage of attractive sites to further strengthen our market share.”



Ross’ spring opening plans also includes additional stores in the chain’s newer markets of Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana.



“Looking ahead, we continue to identify future growth opportunities across all of our markets, giving us confidence that Ross Dress for Less can ultimately grow to 2,000 locations and dd’s Discounts can eventually become a chain of 500 stores.”



Ross currently operates 1,242 locations in 33 states.
