DUBLIN, Calif., Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ross Stores
announces the recent opening of 30 Ross Dress for Less®
("Ross") and ten dd's DISCOUNTS® stores across 19
different states in September and October. These new locations
complete the Company's store growth plans for fiscal 2018 with the
addition of 99 new stores.
"This fall, we continued to expand our Ross and dd's footprints
across our existing markets as well as expansion in our newer
market – the Midwest," said Jim
Fassio, President and Chief Development Officer. "We now
operate nearly 1,500 Ross and over 230 dd's DISCOUNTS locations.
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is plenty of
opportunity to further expand our store base for both chains given
