Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROST) is a prominent player in the retail industry, renowned for its off-price apparel and accessories.

Ross Stores operates through two main retail chains: Ross Dress for Less® and DD’s Discounts®. The Ross Dress for Less® brand boasts over 1,250 stores spread across 33 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam. DD’s Discounts® complements this with more than 165 stores in 15 states. The company’s core business model revolves around procuring excess brand-name merchandise from manufacturing overruns and retail liquidations at prices significantly lower than their original retail value, often between 20%-60% off. This allows Ross Stores to offer consumers high-quality goods at reduced prices and creates a unique treasure hunt shopping experience.
The bulk of Ross Stores’ operations under its flagship, Ross Dress for Less, target middle-income consumers in densely populated suburban regions. The firm ensures a diverse array of stock-keeping units with minimal product depth, enhancing the shopping adventure. On the other hand, DD’s Discounts caters to lower-income shoppers with similarly discounted, brand-name merchandise.
Ross Stores’ strategy of cost-efficient operations and continuous expansion has underpinned its financial success. The company keeps operational costs low, passing the savings directly to customers, which has been a significant factor in maintaining its competitive edge.
