BY AGNES ERICKSON/UPDATED: MAY 4, 2022 10:24 AM EST
Getting your hands on a summer dress you feel
like you're going to live ∈, or that bag you've been
lusting over ever since you saw it ∈Vogue last year
will make your day! Especially if you've found this
[5] perfect-for-you merchandise at a discount. Enter Ross
Dress for Less. Often referred to as just, Ross. The
deep-discount clothing store has turned even the most
skeptical of bargain hunters into die-hard devotees.
And it's Ross' loyal customer base that's kept this retail
[10] store swimming and not sinking along with the rest of
its competitors.
Now that we've set the stage, letting you know
there are bargains to be found and loyal customers
rooting for Ross, it's time to answer an important
[15] question that many of us have pondered for years:
How exactly is this company able to sell clothes for
so cheap?
First off, we can thank the store's "bare-bones"
philosophy for the extra savings on their merchandise.
[20] Ditching the unnecessary is what gives you major
savings. Ross Dress for Less doesn't deck their stores
out with unnecessary bling or frost. In fact, if you have
visited a Ross before, you have probably noticed that
it is quite bare and often messy. We're okay with that,
[25] and you should be, too. The company's decision to not
blow unnecessary money on the store's décor allows
the customer to save big on the actual product they
are buying.
Another reason Ross is able to sell clothing at
[30] such a deep discount is because the merchandise
that it houses is often due to overstock or seasonal
change from the designer. That's \right. If a brand has
a surplus of their clothes \left over, then they will often
sell it to discount chains like Ross at a reduced price
[35] ∈ order to focus on the next season.
The clothing at Ross may have also been
previously displayed at other department stores
like Macy's and JCPenney. Oftentimes, these chain
retailers will buy merchandise from a designer with a
[40] buy-back clause. This means that the designer will
have to buy back whatever hasn't been sold over after
a certain period of time. The manufacturers don't want
the excess merchandise, so they are happy to sell it
to deep-discount stores like Ross at a deep discount.
[45] All this changing of hands may be confusing. But
what's most important to remember is that it is likely
what is saving you a huge chunk of change at your
local Ross Dress for Less.
It may also be plausible that you are getting your
[50] future favorite summer dress or long-lusted handbag
because it is irregular ∈ some way. Oftentimes
the irregularity is not immediately noticeable to the
customer. It could be as small as a tag sewed on
upside-down or uneven hems. Luckily, you don't have
[55] to play the guessing game while standing ∈ the aisle,
because if the piece of merchandise is irregular at
Ross, it will say so on the tag.
So there you have it. The many reasons why
Ross' clothing is so cheap. We hope that finding out
[60] why won't dilute any of the happiness you feel when
you find a great bargain. After all, the savings you
experience is why this company is here to swim and
not sink.
