About Ross Stores

Ross Stores, Inc. is an American off-price retailer of apparel and home fashion items. The company operates under two brands: Ross Dress for Less and dd's DISCOUNTS.

Ross Dress for Less is the largest off-price apparel and home fashion chain in the United States, with over 1,500 stores in 39 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam. The stores offer a wide variety of name-brand and designer apparel, accessories, footwear, and home fashions at prices 20% to 60% below regular department and specialty store prices.

dd's DISCOUNTS, with over 250 stores in 20 states, offers a more moderately-priced assortment of merchandise with a focus on serving families with more modest incomes. The prices at dd's DISCOUNTS are generally 20% to 70% below moderate department and discount store regular prices.

The company's business model is based on purchasing off-season, overstocked, or irregular items from manufacturers and department stores at a low cost. This allows Ross Stores to offer its customers a wide variety of merchandise at a significant discount. The company's target customers are value-conscious consumers who are looking for brand-name and designer merchandise at a bargain.
