Ross Dress for Less is bringing its discount shopping experience to two more Massachusetts communities.
According to The Connecticut Scoop, the off-price retailer is preparing to take over the former Best Buy Outlet space at Brockton‘s Westgate Mall, located at 200 Westgate Drive, as well as the former Bob’s Stores at Twin City Plaza, situated at 146 Whalon Street in Fitchburg, on the Leominster line. Construction on both locations is expected to begin in the spring, with grand openings tentatively planned for sometime in 2027.
The latest announcements add to an already growing list of Ross locations across the state. The retailer currently operates stores in Danvers and West Springfield, with additional locations in the works for Wareham, Braintree, and Chicopee. The chain’s expansion also extends beyond Massachusetts, as the company continues adding stores throughout the Northeast, including Connecticut and New York.
At the new stores, shoppers can look forward to a mix of brand-name and designer merchandise, including apparel, accessories, footwear, toys, and home goods. Items are typically sold for 20% to 60% less than comparable prices at department and specialty stores.
Ross Stores was officially founded in 1950 and introduced the Ross Dress for Less concept in 1982. The brand has since grown into the country’s second-largest off-price retailer, trailing only TJX Companies, which operates TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Homesense, and Sierra.
“Since 1982, our focus has been on bringing our customers a constant stream of high-quality department and specialty store brands at extraordinary savings (aka bargains) while providing an easy, fun, and organized shopping experience,” reads the Ross website.
