The new stores are set to open across 15 states and territories, marking a major real estate expansion for the retailer.
The company is now on track to open approximately 110 stores this year including these new locations opening.
Richard Lietz, EVP, property development said: “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.
“Building on the strong new store performance in 2025 and the spring openings this year, we are excited to grow Ross Dress for Less’ store base in Puerto Rico, New York, and Michigan while also continuing to deepen our presence in key Sunbelt states. For DDs, we are also pleased to expand within our existing markets in California, Florida, North Carolina, and Texas.”
As part of its ongoing expansion, Ross Stores will remain committed to its ongoing tradition of community engagement through making donations to local Boys & Girls Clubs or First Book literacy partners.
The retail chain aims to back youth development and access to educational resources in the neighborhoods that it serves.
Leitz added: “Looking ahead, we see attractive opportunities as off‑price continues to grow, and we are well positioned to capitalize on them.”
