New Ross Locations to Open Across the U.S.
Ross Dress for Less, known for offering bargain-priced clothing, will open several new stores in key U.S. states in the coming weeks. The company’s CEO, Jim Conroy, expressed his excitement in a statement: “Consumers are looking for value and convenience more than ever, and we’re excited to continue to bring those qualities to the community.”
The first set of openings includes a second Ross location in San Francisco, California, at Market Street, where they’ll also make a donation to the Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco. In Anaheim, California, another store will open at the Euclid Shopping Center, covering 25,000 square feet.
Minnesota will also see two new Ross stores open in Woodbury and Savage. Charitable donations will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Twin Cities and Harriet Bishop Elementary in the area.
In Michigan, two stores will open in Adrian, with donations going to the Boys & Girls Club of Lenawee. Three new locations will be opening in the New York City area, including Hempstead, New York, and West Long Branch and Brick, New Jersey.
Additionally, a 21,000 square-foot Ross store will be opening in Clovis, New Mexico, at the North Plains Mall Shopping Center. Finally, Nashville, Tennessee, will also get a new store, covering 22,000 square feet at the South Plaza Shopping Center.
Job Creation and Continued Expansion Plans
Each new store is expected to create 55 to 90 new jobs, including both full-time and part-time positions. This expansion is part of Ross Stores’ broader strategy to increase their store base, following the opening of 16 locations and three dd’s DISCOUNT stores in March alone, across 14 states.
