Ross Dress for Less opens in Holbrook, with more LI stores in the works

|

Six stores in 16 months, and Ross Dress for Less is already eyeing two more on Long Island.

The off-price retailer opened its latest store in October at The Shops at SunVet in Holbrook. The nearly 23,000-square-foot store is next to Nordstrom Rack at 5801 Sunrise Highway.

Ross Dress for Less is the latest addition to The Shops at SunVet, the nearly 168,000-square-foot open-air shopping center that Regency Centers developed on the site of the former Sun Vet Mall. Whole Foods Market anchors the redevelopment, which has also brought Shake Shack, Wonder and Tony’s Tacos to the property.

Ross drew long lines and packed the parking lot when it made its Long Island debut in Hempstead in July 2025. A Farmingville store followed that October, then came a pair of openings in Lake Grove and Riverhead in March. The chain opened its fifth Long Island store in July in the former Big Lots space in West Babylon.

Long Islanders are about to get even more Ross. The retailer is planning stores in Selden and Levittown, both in former Wren Kitchens spaces, according to Newsday. The Selden store is planned for 15 Middle Country Road and the Levittown store for 2965 Hempstead Turnpike.

Ross is known for its treasure-hunt shopping, with a changing mix of brand-name clothing, shoes and home goods. The company says its prices generally run 20% to 60% below regular prices at most department and specialty stores.
