In a press release, Ross said these new locations complete the company's store growth plans for fiscal year 2019 with the addition of 98 new stores.

"This fall, we continued to expand our Ross and Dd's footprints across our existing markets as well as expansion in our newer market – the Midwest,” said Jim Fassio, president and chief development officer.

In addition, Dd's Discounts entered the state of Virginia with the opening of one new store and now operates in 19 states. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our ability to grow to 2,400 Ross Dress for Less and 600 Dd's Discounts locations over time."
