Apparel and home fashion company Ross Stores will be hosting an information session on Tuesday, September 25th at 6pm in the Ella Weed Room (223 Milbank).
Ross Stores is known for its strong promotion of women, and has a very good relationship with Barnard College. Students who are interested in buyer or planner positions in the apparel/fashion industry should attend this session.
Ross Stores, Inc. is the largest off-price apparel and home fashion chain in the United States. The company had fiscal 2011 revenues of $8.6 billion, and it operates Ross Dress for Less® (“Ross”), the largest off-price apparel and home fashion chain in the United States with 1,037 locations in 29 states. The Company also operates 88 dd’s DISCOUNTS® in seven states.
Every piece of merchandise that is sold in our stores -- from clothing to home goods -- is purchased out of our buying offices in New York City, Los Angeles and Boston. Located in the heart of those cities' fashion districts, our Buyers locate bargains and negotiate deals from around the world to offer a 'treasure hunt' of products to our customers. Our Summer Intern Program is dedicated to developing the next generation of talented Buyers to continue Ross' growth.
But buying isn't the only opportunity we can offer. We offer internships in Location Planning as well. Our Planners analyze the business trends and help develop regional strategies for our more than 1,100 stores.
