BIZNOTE: 2 days to Ross Dress for Less grand opening at Westwood Village

| West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news | Westwood

5:03 PM: Back in January, Ross Dress for Less told us the company’s new Westwood Village store was expected to open March 6th. With that date just two days away, we checked back – Saturday is indeed the planned “grand opening” day; Ross is also opening stores in Florida, Missouri, and Texas that day. The Westwood Village store hours will be 8 am-11 pm Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays; 9 am-11 pm Saturdays; closed Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. More than a year and a half has passed since we first reported on Ross’s plan to move into the ex-Barnes & Noble space at the center.

7:47 PM: As pointed out in comments, since we published this story, Ross has updated the linked page to say the store will be open on Wednesdays too, 8 am-11 pm, so closed only Thursdays and Fridays.

ADDED EARLY SATURDAY: Checking their website again, now the store is listed as being open every day but Friday.

It seems odd to be closed 3 days a week. I won’t be able to shop there often as my days off are Wednesday and Thursday.

Ross website says only Thursday and Friday closed.

Lori March 4, 2021 (7:17 pm)

The link to the Ross site says it will be closed Thursdays and Fridays, open Wednesday.

Thanks, that is a change from when I published this story just a few hours ago.

3 days until all the clothes are on the floor and it looks like a teenager’s bedroom. No matter where I’ve gone to Ross in the last 20 years from Olympia to Northgate everything is always strewn about and feels like digging through a teenager’s messy closet.

I’ve found the Renton Ross to be in better condition than their Tukwila store for some reason.

Ha ha, I’ll wager two days. Westwood village = higher stakes.

Meanwhile, the vacated 24 Hour Fitness space is still in disarray. There are metal and plastic shelves, dumbbell racks, cleaning supplies, and boxes strewn about untouched the same as they were a month ago. The lights have also been on 24/7 for months now, which is a colossal waste of electricity. It seems obvious that 24 Hour Fitness has abandoned those items for the landlord to deal with as well as a steep electric bill.

I really don’t understand the rationale behind being closed Thursday and Friday. I get closing two days a week for staffing/labor cost issues but wouldn’t say Monday and Tuesday be more appropriate? Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t early-mid week days slower for retail? Can someone explain this for me?
