Ross Stores expands footprint with nearly 50 June, July store openings
Ross Stores Inc. kicked off the summer by expanding its network of stores – with more on the way.
The off-price retailer opened 47 new stores nationwide during June and July, including 35 Ross Dress for Less and 12 DD’s Discount locations across 15 states and territories (see full list of new stores at end of article). With these new openings, the company says it is on track to open approximately 110 stores this year.
The expansion comes as Ross Stores continues to thrive financially. For its quarter ended May 2, income totaled $650 million, with earnings per share of $2.02 for the quarter, compared to net income of $479 million and earnings per share of $1.47 in the year-ago period. Sales jumped 21% to $6 billion, up from $5.0 billion, while comparable sales rose 17%.
