Ross Stores suggestions

Allegany County store in PA (Pittsburgh area).

Ross Dress for Less from the Bay Area are yet another chain that New York is deprived of, but hope springs eternal (taxes or the economy, I bet.  You know how it is.)  We get things late all the time, with one area having something before another, but if we wait long enough, it'll finally turn up.  My dad used to be an estate agent (how I picked up on these kinds of properties), and he told me that's it's just not as easy as it seems, and I used to write to companies in the post before the internet existed.  While a recent update a decade on in Ontario County after I first wrote this was unavailable to me online because of a paywall (the only way the press can make money anymore), I managed to get the gist on Google.  The list is exclusively Upstate for now.
