SNAPFORWARD

Off-price retailers are riding a wave of success lately, but Ross Stores Inc. isn’t new to positive results. The company has grown sales at an average rate of 9.2% over the last decade (2013’s +5.2% was the low-water mark), while more than doubling the number of Ross Dress for Less and dd’s Discount stores in the same period – 797 stores in 2006 will be 1,530 stores by the end of the year. With a sustained focus and discipline, the company has increased store counts at a rate of 6% a year since 2011. We can expect a general continuation of both sales- and store-growth trends for the near term.
