Our diverse merchandise mix provides customers
with a constantly changing selection of seasonally
appropriate buys and savings.
Customers respond to the “treasure-hunt” nature of our stores.
Ross customers like searching for bargains and are attracted to the
“treasure-hunt” nature of our shopping experience. Our success is
directly linked to our ability to consistently offer a wide array of prod-
uct categories and styles.
Broadening our assortments over the past several years through the
expansion of our non-apparel businesses has been an effective growth
vehicle. Our Home and Bed and Bath businesses continue to gener-
ate solid same store sales gains, contributing to healthy increases in
total Company revenues.
