Ross has announced major expansion plans and is set to open 51 new locations under its banner over September and October.
These new stores, which will open across 17 different states will complete the company’s growth plans for the fiscal year 2026.
As part of the commemoration of the new store openings, the off-price retailer will make donations to local Boys & Girls Cubs and First Book literacy partners.
This year the off-price retailer hit its target of opening 115 stores during the fiscal year. Ross is building on the store’s momentum as it gains profitability from shoppers looking for affordable options amid inflation.
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 local communities.
“Building on the strong performance of our newer stores, we are excited to open our inaugural stores in Massachusetts.”
“At DD’s Discounts, we are pleased to further expand in our established core markets of California, Florida, and Texas.”
The retailer now operates approximately 2,377 stores across 45 states and plans to continue growing its brick-and-mortar estate in the future.
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.”
