Ross plans to open in the Northgate Center
After much rumor, ROSS Dress for Less has confirmed it is still planning to open a new location in McMinnville, according to a recent report.
Ross told Warren County Joy:
Ross spokesperson Connie Kao said, “I can confirm that a lease has been signed for a new Ross Dress for Less in McMinnville, TN, but we have not provided an opening date yet. Please check back later in the Spring and we should have an opening date to share.”
Ross plans to open in the Northgate Center (NC) in the spot where Big Lots once reigned before closing for good last year after nearly 30 years. The report follows Ross’s recent announcement of a 40-location expansion across 17 different states.
“This fall, we continued to strengthen our brand presence by opening stores in existing markets and expanding in new markets,” said Richard Lietz, Executive Vice President, Property Development. “At Ross Dress for Less, we were excited to add locations in the Midwest as well as the Northeast, with new stores in Michigan, New Jersey and New York, while also increasing our presence in the Sunbelt states. At dd’s, we enhanced our footprint in our core markets of California and Texas. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our expansion plans and see plenty of opportunity to grow to at least 2,900 Ross Dress for Less and 700 dd’s DISCOUNTS locations over time.”
Together, Ross Dress for Less and dd’s DISCOUNTS currently operate a total of 2,273 locations across 44 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
