Ballwin 'Ross' Expected This Summer

The clothing retailer Ross Dress for Less should be open later this year, with one Ballwin city staff member expecting an opening sometime this summer.

The store gets a truckload of new products Monday through Friday mornings, wokers at Ross's Chesterfield location said, and items tend to hit the shelves by afternoon.

Ross sells clothes for all ages (baby included) and genders, jewelry, foods, rugs, dishes, furniture, accessories, shoes, "As Seen on TV" items, crystal tableware, electronic games, fitness gear and more.

A sign outside of the retailer's new location at 15301 Manchester Road, located between and , says the store is scheduled to open sometime this year.

Ballwin City Planner Tom Aiken said all permits for the store have been issued and it could be open sometime around June.

"Probably late June, but that's just my estimate based on how long these things normally take," Aiken said.

Ross will join retailers such as Five Below and buy buy Baby as one of the newest businesses on the block, which lost Borders Books and Music last year. A grand opening for Five Below is scheduled for April 27.
