Inside Scoops of the Week

Ross Dress for Less has added more than 200 stores in recent years, making it the country's largest off-priced apparel store, and it's not done growing, said Midwest vice president Fred Shuey. The stores keep prices low with a no-frills operation, keep inventory fresh with daily deliveries and change up the merchandise mixes to meet local market demands.

A growing number of retailers are swiping customers' driver's licenses to protect themselves from fraudulent returns. Two California lawmakers want to curtail the practice, saying it puts consumers at greater risk of identity theft, but retailers say the practice helps stores and consumers. "It's all an effort to control losses and reduce the unnecessary price increases for legitimate consumers," said NRF's Joseph LaRocca. KGO-TV (San Francisco) (3/2)

Nordstrom made an unusual move for a luxury retailer when it began selling gently worn and refurbished shoes at its Nordstrom Rack outlet stores. Some industry watchers say the move may prove to tarnish the brand's high-end image, but others say affordably priced used shoes from designers like Gucci and Louis Vuitton are likely to appeal to younger consumers' fondness for pre-owned couture. CNBC (2/29)

Retailers including Target, Macy's and Limited Brands reported stronger-than-expected sales gains for February, buoyed by Valentine's and Presidents Day holidays and strong demand for spring clothes as the warm winter continued. "We saw good consumer response to our early spring deliveries in women's apparel, and continued strong trends in accessories, shoes, cosmetics, men's and home, which bodes well for the months ahead," said Macy's chairman and CEO Terry Lundgren.
