Ross Dress for Less Plans New Mission Store at Conway Plaza

Ross Dress for Less is planned for Conway Plaza in Mission, adding a new bargain-shopping stop between My Melrose and TruFit. A state filing lists an $850,000 retail renovation at 301 E. Expressway 83, with construction estimated from October 1, 2026, through May 1, 2027.

For shoppers who enter a store with one item in mind and leave browsing three other departments, the appeal needs little explanation. Ross builds its identity around recognizable brands, changing merchandise, and the possibility of an unexpected find.

Where Ross Dress for Less fits at Conway Plaza

The landlord’s August 26, 2026 site plan identifies Ross in suite 301B/C, with approximately 26,800 square feet. The drawing places My Melrose on one side and TruFit on the other.

CBG Commercial Real Estate also names Ross in its description of the center’s redevelopment. Conway Plaza fronts both Expressway 83 and Conway Avenue, giving the project a place in an established Mission shopping corridor.

How the bargain-shopping model works

Ross traces its off-price approach to 1982. According to the company’s official background, buyers work directly with manufacturers to negotiate merchandise deals, while the chain’s purchasing scale helps support its pricing.

The stores keep presentation simple, too. Ross points to its limited decorative fixtures and no-frills interiors as part of how it passes savings along. The emphasis is on what is on the racks rather than elaborate displays.

Ross says new buys reach stores almost every day. That changing selection helps explain why regular shoppers keep browsing: one visit does not necessarily look like the next. It is also why a particular brand, size, or item should never be assumed to be waiting at a future location.

Another shopping option in the center

The site plan also lists dd’s DISCOUNTS, Dollar Tree, and other retail and service tenants elsewhere in Conway Plaza. Ross adds another destination within that existing mix, rather than introducing an entirely new shopping center.

For nearby residents, the practical story is a familiar retailer joining a center already used for shopping, errands, and fitness. The drawing continues to show My Melrose alongside Ross; it does not establish that My Melrose is leaving the plaza.

Ross Dress for Less construction timeline

TDLR registration TABS2027000765 describes commercial retail tenant improvements. Its listed 263,962 square feet differs substantially from the landlord’s plan; the approximately 26,800-square-foot figure reported here comes from CBG’s tenant directory.

May 2027 is the filing’s estimated construction completion, not a confirmed opening date. A grand-opening announcement for the Conway Plaza store has not been verified.
