Binghamton Area’s First Ross Dress for Less Store to Open Soon
A national discount clothing chain is continuing its expansion into New York state with the planned opening of a store in the Binghamton region.
Construction is progressing on a Ross Dress for Less location at the Parkway Plaza in Vestal.
The 22,300-square-foot Ross store will occupy most of the space once used by a Circuit City electronics store and a Price Rite grocery store in the Vestal Parkway shopping complex. A Dick's Sporting Goods warehouse store also operated at the site for a short time before it moved to the nearby Town Square Mall nearly a year ago.
A 15,000-square-foot Boot Barn store opened just west of the future Ross Dress for Less last March.
The Ross Dress for Less chain is based in California. Parent company Ross stores is planning to open 75 new locations during the current fiscal year.
Town of Vestal official have been told by company representatives that the Parkway Plaza store is expected to open around October 11.
