The story

Ross Department Store was first opened in San Bruno, California, in 1950 by Morris "Morrie" Ross. Morris would work 85 hours a week doing all of the buying and bookkeeping for his department store. In 1958 Ross sold his store to William Isackson to become a residential and commercial real estate developer. Isackson built the company to six stores in the San Francisco Bay Area, located in San Bruno, Pacifica, Novato, Vacaville, Redwood City, and Castro Valley. In 1982 a group of investors, including Mervin Morris, founder of the Mervyn's chain of department stores, purchased the six Ross Department Stores, changed the format to off-price retail units, and within three years rapidly expanded the chain to 107 stores under Stuart Moldaw and Don Rowlett.

On August 8, 1985, Ross Stores, Inc. became a public company via an initial public offering, at an initial price of $17.00 per share. Ross Stores trades on Nasdaq's large-cap Global Select Market under the symbol "ROST", and is a component of the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 indices.

By the end of 1995, the chain reached an annual sales of $1.4 billion with 292 stores in 18 states. By 2012, Ross reached $9.7 billion for the fiscal year with 1,091 stores in 33 states with an additional 108 for DD's Discounts in 8 states. Ross moved its headquarters from Newark, California, to Pleasanton, California, in the Tri-Valley area, in 2003.

Barbara Rentler took the place of CEO Michael Balmuth on June 1, 2014; she was the 25th female CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Ross moved its headquarters from Pleasanton to neighboring Dublin, California, in 2014.

On October 28, 2024, the company's board of directors appointed James Conroy as the new CEO, succeeding Barbara Rentler effective February 2, 2025. Conroy previously was CEO of Boot Barn.

In 2025, Ross Dress for Less expanded into Puerto Rico.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Ross Dress for Less names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 31, 2026: 20 risks under these headings, as written.20

  • MACROECONOMIC AND RETAIL INDUSTRY BUSINESS RISKS
  • We are subject to impacts from changes in the macroeconomic environment, government regulation or policy, geopolitical conditions, and financial and credit markets. Continuing inflation, tariff increases (or threats of increases), potential supply chain disruptions, and other external events may have significant negative effects on our costs, and also on consumer confidence, shopping behavior, and spending, which may adversely affect our sales and profitability.
  • Changes and uncertainty in U.S. trade or tax policy regarding apparel, home-related merchandise, shoes, and other goods we sell produced in other countries could adversely affect our business.
  • Competitive pressures and the pace of change in the retailing industry are high.
  • Unexpected changes in the level of consumer spending or preferences could adversely affect us.
  • Adverse or unseasonable weather may affect shopping patterns and consumer demand for seasonal apparel and other merchandise, and may result in temporary store closures and disruptions in deliveries of merchandise to our stores.
  • We may experience volatility in sales and earnings.
  • STRATEGIC RISKS
  • We depend on the market availability, quantity, and quality of attractive brand name merchandise at desirable discounts, and on the ability of our buyers to source and purchase merchandise to enable us to offer customers a wide assortment of merchandise at competitive prices.
  • To achieve growth, we need to expand in existing markets and enter new geographic markets.
  • Our inability to continually attract, train, and retain associates with the retail talent necessary to execute our off-price retail strategies, as well as labor shortages, increased turnover, or increased labor costs could adversely affect our operating results.
  • We need to obtain acceptable new store sites with favorable consumer demographics to achieve our planned growth.
The other 10 risks
  • Our ability to effectively advertise and market our business could impact customer traffic and demand for our merchandise.
  • OPERATIONAL RISKS
  • In order to achieve our planned gross margins, we must effectively manage our inventories, markdowns, and inventory shortage.
  • Information or data security breaches, including cyberattacks on our transaction processing and computer information systems (including malware intrusion, data exfiltration, identity theft, and other types of cybersecurity threats), could disrupt our operations, result in theft or unauthorized disclosure of our confidential and valuable business information or credit card and other customer information, and could adversely affect our business, disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, increase our costs, and create significant legal exposure.
  • Disruptions in our supply chain or in our information systems could impact our ability to process sales and to deliver product to our stores in a timely and cost-effective manner.
  • We are subject to risks associated with importing and selling merchandise produced in other countries.
  • Damage to our corporate reputation or brands could adversely affect our sales and operating results.
  • To support our continuing operations, our new store and distribution center growth plans and other capital investment plans, our stock repurchase program, our debt repayments, and our quarterly dividends, we must maintain sufficient liquidity.
  • A natural or man-made disaster in a region where we have a concentration of stores, offices, or a distribution center could harm our business.
  • COMPLIANCE, REGULATORY, AND LEGAL RISKS
  • Consumer problems or legal issues involving the quality, safety, or authenticity of products we sell could harm our reputation, result in lost sales, and/or increase our costs.
  • An adverse outcome in various legal, regulatory, or tax matters could damage our reputation or brand and increase our costs.

Legal proceedings

We have been named in class/representative action lawsuits, primarily in California, alleging violations by us of wage and hour laws. Class/representative action litigation remains pending as of January 31, 2026.

We are also party to various other legal and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Actions filed against us may include commercial, product and product safety, consumer, intellectual property, environmental, and labor and employment-related claims, including lawsuits in which private plaintiffs or governmental agencies allege that we violated federal, state, and/or local laws. Actions against us are in various procedural stages. Many of these proceedings raise factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties.

Like many retailers and other businesses, we have filed a lawsuit as plaintiff against various insurance companies with respect to our claims for insurance coverage for business interruption and for other losses that we have experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our suit was filed in Alameda County, California in December 2020. The proceedings are ongoing and remain subject to significant uncertainties.

We believe that the resolution of our currently pending class/representative action litigation and other currently pending legal and regulatory proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
