 PROFILE
Ross lets you dress (and lots more) for less. Ross Stores operates a discount clothing chain with more than 420 stores. The company sells mostly closeout merchandise, including men's, women's, and children's clothing, at prices well below those of department and specialty stores. Although apparel accounts for most of sales, the stores also sell housewares, sporting goods, consumer electronics, toys, luggage, and gourmet foods. Featuring the Ross "Dress for Less" trademark, the chain targets 25- to 54-year-old white-collar shoppers from middle- to upper-middle-income households. Ross stores are located in urban and suburban strip malls in 20 states, mostly in the western US.
