Ross Dress for Less looks to open second store in Collierville: Here's where
A Germantown-based real estate development firm has plans to build a space for a major retail chain's second location in Collierville.
The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Monday approved Crews Development LLC's final site plan and development agreement for a 27,748-square-foot building at 1016 W. Poplar Ave. at the Collierville Marketplace.
A Ross Dress for Less store is planned for one of the tenant spaces in the building. The California-based chain of discount department stores is the largest off-price retailer in the U.S.
Ross Dress for Less would occupy roughly 22,000 square feet and be constructed adjacent to PetSmart, while a roughly 5,700-square-foot shell space is also planned to be built for a future tenant next the popshelf, according to a final site plan application to the Town of Collierville.
While the board approve the site plan, it did not approve Ross' request for a waiver to allow the use of "Bermuda Blue" bricks on the front façade. The Design Review Commission did not recommend approval of the waiver in December.
"As a town, we have very high standards," Collierville Alderman Missy Marshall said. "... Just the work the DRC (Design Review Commission) and the Planning Commission put into it and them not recommending it, we want to continue to be consistent with our high standards in town."
Steven Williams, residential and commercial development manager for Crews Development, LLC, told the board that Ross is planned to be the biggest tenant in the Collierville Marketplace.
An existing Ross Dress for Less in Collierville is located at the Carriage Crossing MarketPlace at 10249 E. Shelby Drive, across from the Shops at Carriage Crossing.
Collierville Town Planner Jaime Groce said once the new Ross and other tenant space are built, that it will 'fill in the gaps' in the Collierville Marketplace shopping center and be the last building owned by Crews.
Groce noted an Advance Auto store is relocating from the nearby Kroger Center at 754 W. Poplar Ave. into a roughly 6,900-square-foot space at the Collierville Marketplace. Construction has not started on the store, which will have 34 total parking spaces including two handicap spaces. He said the project has been held up due to the owner trying to get an easement from Home Depot for offsite drainage improvements.
COLLIERVILLE DEVELOPMENT: Collierville may soon nearly double its number of hotels. What's leading to the growth?
Groce said once that site is built, the entire shopping center will be built-out.
The 242,800 square-foot Collierville Marketplace shopping center at the corner of West Poplar and Market Boulevard have several notable commercial tenants including Home Depot, Ichiban Buffet, Frost Bake Shop and FedEx Office.

Victoria's Secret says it will postpone earnings report after recent security breach
NEW YORK (AP) — Victoria's Secret is postponing the release of its quarterly earnings following a security breach that disrupted the popular lingerie brand's corporate operations and led it to take down its U.S. shopping site for several days last week. In a Tuesday update, Victoria's Secret said it first detected a "security incident involving its information technology systems' on May 24 — and immediately turned to response protocols in effects 'to contain and eradicate unauthorized network access,' which included engaging with third-party experts. The Ohio-based retailer added that it temporarily shut down corporate systems and its retail website on May 26 'as a precaution.' The Victoria's Secret website in the U.S. stayed dark for several days after, sparking prolonged frustration among shoppers. It wasn't back online until late Thursday. While not directly confirmed by Victoria's Secret, the incident bore hallmarks of a cyberattack involving ransomware. Analysts note that more and more retailers are facing these kinds of attacks today — and pointed to the reach and length of disruptions impacting Victoria's Secret's operations. Beyond its website, some in-store services at Victoria's Secret namesake and Pink-branded locations were also shut down due to breach. But on Tuesday, the company said most of those functions had since been restored. Victoria's Secret also said Tuesday that it's still working to fully restore access to its corporate systems, which is why it's delaying its first-quarter earnings — noting that the process has 'prevented employees from accessing certain systems and information' needed to finalize and release the financial report. Still, the company shared some preliminary results. For its first quarter of 2025, which ended May 3, Victoria's Secret now expects to report $1.35 billion in net sales and an adjusted operating income of $32 million, exceeding previously-issued guidance. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect sales of about $1.33 billion, on average. Victoria's Secret did not immediately share a new date for the release of its first quarter earnings. Victoria's Secret maintained that last month's breach did not impact its first quarter results, as the period ended before the breach caused disruptions. But the company said it would continue to 'assess the full scope' of the incident, including expenses that might impact future finances. The 'security incident' impacting Victoria's Secret arrives as more and more companies report breaches that disrupt operations and/or expose customer data, particularly among retailers. Several British retailers — Marks & Spencer, Harrods and Co-op — have all shared that they've been targeted by cyberattacks over recent weeks, for example. The cyberattack hitting M&S stopped it from processing online orders and left store shelves empty, with the company estimating that this will cost it 300 million pounds ($400 million). And last month, Adidas announced that it had recently become aware of an 'unauthorized external party' obtaining some consumer data — mostly consisting of contact information — through a third-party customer service provider. Following any cybersecurity incident impacting a consumer-facing brand, experts warn that it's important for shoppers to be alert. Fraudsters might take advantage of the news to promise fake promotions through phishing emails, for example, or use sensitive information that may have been compromised.

Foreign Patent Trolls Wreak Havoc at the U.S. International Trade Commission
Yet again, another foreign shell company is targeting productive American manufacturers with spurious claims of patent infringement in hopes of striking it rich. And for some reason– the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) – continues to make this predatory litigation possible and profitable. Also known as patent assertion entities (PAEs), patent trolls don't manufacture or make anything, but they weaponize patents to aggressively pursue infringement claims and file suits to shakedown innovative and successful companies in hopes of forcing a quick settlement – often using the ITC to gain negotiating leverage. The biggest losers here are American consumers who will ultimately foot the bill in the form of higher prices, fewer choices, and less innovation, as well as U.S. taxpayers who are funding the ITC's expensive and duplicative investigations. Patent trolls like the ITC because unlike district courts, the only remedy the ITC can award is an exclusion order, which is an import ban that completely bars the infringing product from importation into the United States. So, while courts will measure out proportionate remedies such as monetary damages, when justified, the ITC remedy literally blocks off an entire market over even minor or weak patent claims. And while the ITC is supposed to protect American companies from foreign infringement, it pays little mind to foreign shell companies sponsoring patent assertion campaigns. The latest troll filing a high-profile case at the ITC is Longitude Licensing, a Dublin-based firm that proudly boasts its track record of 'maximizing the value of patented intellectual property for global patent owners.' In other words, it makes no products and just tries to find lawsuits to file. Last month, Longitude sued Apple, Qualcomm, TSMC, and other tech companies for allegedly infringing patents it holds related to semiconductors. If the ITC acquiesces to Longitude's demands, then any devices containing these components – including circuit boards, smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets – will be completely barred from the U.S. The Trump Administration should be paying attention. The U.S. will lose the global race for tech leadership if we can't access critical semiconductor technology. In 2022, Arigna Technology Limited, another Irish shell company, asked the ITC to ban over 93% of the smartphones, as well as tablets and laptops, that American consumers depend on every day. As is often the case, the tech companies had little choice but to settle rather than fight Arigna, given the risk that the ITC would ban their products from the U.S. market. Arigna was funded with the backing of Magnetar Capital, a hedge fund that not only helped create mortgage-backed securities, but then bet against those risky investments, ultimately sowing the seeds of the 2008 Financial Crisis. Magnetar, Arigna, and other investors made money while U.S. tech companies, and ultimately consumers, paid the bill. Similarly, Longitude Licensing is owned by Vector Capital, an investment firm that raised red flags in 2014 when it invested in a network of payday-lending websites, using corporations set up in Belize and the Virgin Islands to obscure their involvement and circumvent U.S. usury laws. Through this shady web, payday lenders charged their customers over 600 percent interest on loans. When Congress granted the ITC its exclusion order ability through the Tariff Act of 1930, it sought to protect domestic industries that could not use U.S. courts to reach unfair importers, so it set up a special remedy against the importers' goods. But Congress had no idea it would be enabling a system where wealthy hedge funds help Irish shell companies pursue questionable litigation using portfolios of old patents to try to extort massive payouts from innovative companies contributing billions to the U.S. economy. Congress must step in to protect the ITC process from being exploited by patent trolls. Bipartisan ITC reform legislation was introduced in the last Congress and should be reintroduced and passed quickly. Simple fixes like forcing the ITC to conduct rigorous public interest analyses before it acts and ensuring the patents in question have a real tie to an actual American industry are reforms that everyone should support. Foreign patent trolls and their deep-pocketed predatory backers are hoping that Congress doesn't take up this legislation to fix the ITC. As Congress looks to support President Trump's trade agenda to support American manufacturing, stopping patent troll abuse at the ITC should be at the top of the list.
