What the “vs typical site” column means. It is this chain's median divided by the median across all 173,178 tracked retail sites. 1.00× is exactly typical. It describes where the chain is today; it is not a prediction and not a judgement about any individual location.
Every count around a Ross Dress for Less site is computed with Ross Dress for Less itself excluded, so a chain never counts its own stores.
