Stores,  Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 29, 1994 and January
30,  1993,  and for each of the three years in the  period  ended
January 29, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated  March
11,  1994;  such financial statements and report are included  in
this  Annual  Report on Form 10-K.  Our audits also included  the
financial   statement  schedules  of  Ross   Stores,   Inc.   and
subsidiaries  listed  in Item 14(a)2.  These financial  statement
schedules  are  the responsibility of the companies'  management.

In   our  opinion,  such  financial  statement  schedules,   when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a  whole, present fairly in all material respects the information
