Merchandising. Our merchandising strategy incorporates a combination of off-price buying techniques to purchase advance-of-season, in-season, and past-season merchandise for both Ross and dd’s DISCOUNTS. We believe nationally recognized name brands sold at compelling discounts will continue to be an important determinant of our success. We generally leave the brand-name label on the merchandise we sell.

We have established merchandise assortments that we believe are attractive to our target customers. Although we offer fewer classifications of merchandise than most department stores, we generally offer a large selection of brand names within each classification with a wide assortment of vendors, labels, prices, colors, styles and fabrics within each size or item. The mix of comparable store sales by department in fiscal 2008 was approximately as follows: Ladies 32%, Home Accents and Bed and Bath 23%, Men's 14%, Accessories, Lingerie, Fine Jewelry, and Fragrances 12%, Shoes 10%, and Children’s 9%. Our merchandise offerings also include product categories such as small furniture and furniture accents, educational toys and games, luggage, gourmet food and cookware, watches, sporting goods and, in select Ross stores, fine jewelry.
