Ross Stores runs two chains of off-price retail stores in the US: Ross Dress for Less (the main brand, ~2,000+ locations) and dd's Discounts (targeting more budget-conscious shoppers). It sells branded clothing, footwear, accessories, and home goods at steep discounts—typically 20–60% below regular retail—by buying excess inventory and closeouts from manufacturers and retailers. Customers are value-seeking consumers who want recognizable brands at low prices. Revenue comes entirely from in-store product sales across 43 states.
