Affordable Designer Clothing Store Opens In MI

Shoppers looking to stretch their dollars on clothing, shoes and home goods have more bargain-hunting options as Ross Dress for Less and its sister chain, dd's Discounts, expand their footprint across the country, including in Michigan.

Ross Stores, the parent company of both chains, said Monday it is on track to 51 stores in 17 states during September and October, completing an expansion that added 115 locations nationwide in 2026. The expansion comes as shoppers continue looking for ways to make their money go further on everyday purchases, the company said in a news release.

Not all of the stores have been officially announced, but new listings on the company’s store locators show 20 new Dress for Less and 10 dd’s stores in more than a dozen states.

In Michigan, the company opened three new Ross Dress for Less stores. The three new stores opened at:

• 5731 Mercury Drive, Dearborn
• 32078 Gratiot Avenue, Roseville
• 3605 Miller Road, Flint

Michigan already has 14 Ross Stores, including:

• 15250 Dix-toledo Road, Southgate
• 3181 Fairlane Drive, Allen Park
• 9321 Telegraph Road, Redford
• 35615 Warren Road, Westland
• 13489 Middlebelt Road, Livonia
• 23675 Greenfield Road, Southfield
• 3675 Washtenaw Ave, Ann Arbor
• 2777 Oak Valley Dr., Ann Arbor
• 9050 Highland Road, White Lake
• 1416 S. Main Street, Suite 150, Adrian
• 8393 W. Grand River Ave, Brighton
• 50630 Gratiot Avenue, Chesterfield Township
• 1132 Jackson Crossing, Jackson
• 4190 East Court Street, Suite 100, Burton

One Dd's Discounts opened in Michigan at 5701 Mercury Drive in Dearborn.

Ross Dress for Less officially markets itself as selling brand-name and designer apparel, accessories, footwear, and home goods at 20 percent to 60 percent below regular department and specialty store prices.

Its sister chain, dd's Discounts, targets shoppers seeking even lower-priced merchandise, advertising savings of 20 percent to 70 percent compared with regular prices at moderate department and discount stores.

Both chains use an off-price retail model, buying merchandise at discounts and selling it at prices below those typically charged by traditional retailers. Selection varies by location, and shoppers may not find the same merchandise from one visit to the next.

The company's expansion reflects its confidence that consumers will continue looking for bargains, particularly on clothing and other household purchases that compete for room in family budgets.

Ross opened its first stores in Massachusetts during the latest expansion and added locations in New York and other established markets. dd's Discounts continued growing in California, Florida and Texas.

The company operates about 2,377 stores in 45 states, D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico.

Richard Lietz, Ross Stores' executive vice president of property development, noted ongoing growth potential as consumers seek brand-name bargains. He said the company aims to expand to at least 2,900 Ross Dress for Less and 700 dd's Discounts locations, though future opening dates are unannounced.
