“With this opening group, we continued to expand Ross and dd’s in both new and existing markets. Ross grew in its newer market – the Midwest – as well as existing markets, including California, Texas, and Florida. We also expanded into Delaware,” said Jim Fassio, President and Chief Development Officer. “Looking ahead, we remain confident in our expansion plans and continue to see plenty of opportunity to grow across all of our markets.”

Together, Ross and dd’s DISCOUNTS® currently operate 1,680 off-price apparel and home fashion stores in 38 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam.
