So, the other day, I had this sudden urge, you know? Just woke up and thought, “I need to hit Ross.” Don’t ask me why, sometimes you just get that feeling. Maybe I needed a new random kitchen gadget or a cheap t-shirt. Who knows. But then it hit me – I had absolutely no clue what time Ross even opens its doors in the morning.
I mean, seriously, it’s one of those things you just assume you know, or you figure it’s like every other store. But then you stop and think, and realize you actually don’t. I almost just jumped in the car, but then I pictured myself sitting in the parking lot, staring at a locked door. What a waste of time and gas that would have been, right?
My little investigation
So, I decided I had to figure this out properly. I couldn’t just guess. My first instinct was to just, well, find out. I poked around a bit, asked a friend who’s a bit of a bargain hunter like me. You know how it is, sometimes word-of-mouth is still the way to go for these everyday things. It’s not like it’s a national secret or anything, but store hours can be surprisingly tricky.
After a bit of this and that, I got a clearer picture. It seems like most Ross stores tend to open up around 9:30 AM. That’s for a typical weekday morning. I was like, okay, 9:30 AM, that’s not too early, not too late. Gives you time to have your coffee, I guess.
Then I got thinking about weekends, ’cause sometimes that’s when you actually have time to go shopping. Here’s what I gathered:
- Saturdays: They often open around the same time, 9:30 AM, but I heard they might stay open a bit later, maybe till like 11:00 PM. That’s pretty late, good for those evening shopping runs. So, if you’re planning a Saturday trip, that later closing time is something to keep in mind.
- Sundays: Seems like Sundays are pretty standard too, opening like most other days of the week. So, probably that 9:30 AM start again for many of them.
It’s kinda interesting, you know? You’d think all stores would just open at 9 AM sharp or something, but they all have their own little schedules. And it’s always a good idea to have a rough idea, especially if you’re trying to be the first one in to snag those deals, haha!
Honestly, it wasn’t some massive research project, just a bit of practical, everyday figuring-it-out. But now I know! Next time that Ross craving hits me, I’ll have a better idea of when to roll up. It’s always good to be prepared, even for a simple shopping trip. Saves you the headache of a wasted journey. So, if you were wondering too, hopefully, my little quest helps you out!
