Most Retailers Are Shrinking. Ross Is Opening 110 Stores.

While most major retail chains are pulling back, Ross Stores is doing the opposite — opening 110 new locations and continuing one of the most consistent expansion programs in American retail.

For commercial real estate investors, that is not just a retail story. It is an anchor tenant story.

In this video, Maher Commercial Realty breaks down why Ross-anchored shopping centers command a premium in today’s retail investment market — and why that premium is justified by what a Ross store actually does for the properties around it.

What retail investors need to understand:
▶ Ross is not filling space — it is generating traffic. And sustained traffic is the foundation of a healthy retail center regardless of what any individual tenant is doing
▶ When a dominant off-price anchor keeps drawing customers, surrounding tenants benefit directly through shared foot traffic and co-tenancy visibility
▶ Off-price retail has proven more resilient to e-commerce pressure than almost any other retail category — which means Ross-anchored centers carry a durability argument that most retail product cannot make
▶ Investors pay a premium for Ross-anchored centers because the anchor creates a compounding effect on the entire center’s performance — not just the box it occupies

In a retail market defined by contraction, an anchor that is actively expanding is one of the most valuable assets a shopping center can have.
