Ross Dress for Less has opened its first Suffolk location at 1011 University Boulevard in Harbour View, a $20 million mixed-use development.
The store is about 25,000 square feet and represents a capital investment of just under $1 million dollars. The company said in a press release that it plans to hire approximately 50 full and part-time employees at the location.
According to Ross, shoppers will find merchandise, including men’s, women’s and children’s name-brand clothing, at prices typically 20 percent to 60 percent lower than those at department and specialty stores. The store also stocks small furnishings, toys and games, luggage and jewelry.
The opening of the Suffolk store is part of a 2016 expansion program that is expected to result in about 70 new Ross locations during the year. Ross, together with dd’s DISCOUNTS, operates about 1,500 off-price apparel and home fashion stores in 34 states, Washington D.C., and Guam.
“Suffolk’s growing retail tenant mix has transformed Harbour View into a shopping destination that our community is proud of,” Suffolk Mayor Linda T. Johnson, said in a statement.
