The Dayton Daily News first reported in February that Ross had plans to move into the site formerly occupied by Stein Mart near Far Hills Avenue.
Stein Mart opened at Town & Country in 1992 and consumed 34,000 square feet. The retailer left the shopping center at Stroop Road and Far Hills Avenue after it announced in 2020 that it was closing nearly 300 stores.

Ross has more than 1,600 stores in the U.S., records show. It currently has locations in Beavercreek near The Mall at Fairfield Commons and at the Dayton Mall in Miami Twp.
It is a discount clothing, shoes and home décor retailer established in 1982, according to its website. The company provides a 20% to 60% discount on items compared to typical department stores, according to footwearnews.com.
Ross Dress for Less is the largest off-price apparel and home fashion chain in the U.S., according to Town & Country owners Casto and Skilken Gold.
The Kettering site will be its 23rd location in the state as the retailer continues its expansion efforts in both existing and newer markets.
