These excerpts taken from the ROST 10-K filed Mar 31, 2009.
Operating Costs

Consistent with the other aspects of our business strategy, we strive to keep operating costs as low as possible. Among the factors which have enabled us to keep operating costs low are:

  • Labor costs that generally are lower than full-price department and specialty stores due to (i) a store design that creates a self-service retail format and (ii) the utilization of labor saving technologies.
  • Economies of scale with respect to general and administrative costs as a result of centralized merchandising, marketing and purchasing decisions.
  • Flexible store layout criteria which facilitates conversion of existing buildings to our format.
