Construction Of CT's First Ross Dress For Less Store Underway In Trumbull

TRUMBULL, CT — Construction is underway on a new Ross Dress for Less store in Trumbull, the popular clothing chain's first location in Connecticut.

Director of Economic and Community Development Rina Bakalar confirmed Tuesday the company is currently at work on the Trumbull store, located at 100 Hawley Lane.

"They are working on the space," Bakalar said to Patch.

A sign advertising the under construction Ross Dress for Less store could be seen at the Hawley Lane Mall last week.

Once open, Ross Dress for Less will occupy the space previously occupied by Home Goods.

An official opening date for the Trumbull store has not been announced yet. A request for comment from Ross Dress for Less was not immediately returned this week.

The department store chain, which specializes in clothes, home decor and other items sold at discounted prices, currently operates stores in a number of other states, including New York, New Jersey, Florida and California.

Last year, Bakalar told Patch the new store will use the entire space vacated by Home Goods, measuring approximately 35,000 square feet.

"It will bring good foot traffic to the site," Bakalar said last year. "Everyone likes a discount too."

At that time, Bakalar said the store would likely open in the summer of 2024, however that estimated timeframe has since been delayed to 2025.
