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.
