“With these recent openings, we continued our growth in both new and existing markets.”

“We now operate a total of 1,651 Ross Dress for Less and dd’s Discounts locations across 38 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam. As we look out over the long-term, we remain confident that Ross can grow to 2,000 locations and dd’s Discounts can become a chain of 500 stores.”
