Ross Stores opened 41 namesake and 10 dd’s Discounts stores across 17 states in September and October, completing the company’s store growth plans for fiscal 2026.
Overall, the company noted that Ross opened 115 additional locations this year.
“Each new opening allows us to deliver compelling value to even more customers while creating new jobs and making a positive impact in local communities,” said Richard Lietz, Ross executive vice president, property development. “Building on the strong performance of our newer stores, we are excited to open our inaugural stores in Massachusetts while strengthening Ross Dress for Less’ presence in New York and other existing markets. At dd’s Discounts, we are pleased to further expand in our established core markets of California, Florida and Texas.”
Lietz added, “We remain confident in the long-term opportunities for both brands. As customers increasingly seek great brands at great prices, Ross’ off-price offering continues to resonate, and we believe we are well positioned to grow to at least 2,900 Ross Dress for Less and 700 dd’s Discounts locations over time.”
Ross Dress for Less and dd’s Discounts combine for 2,377 locations across 45 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico.
