FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)

Pursuant to the instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, 
Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), 82 
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and an investment adviser 
registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act 
of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 6,132,400 shares or 4.197% 
of the Common Stock outstanding of Ross Stores Incorporated  
("the Company") as a result of acting as investment adviser to 
various investment companies registered under Section 8 of 
the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR Corp., through its 
control of Fidelity, and the funds each has sole power to 
dispose of the 6,132,400 shares owned by the Funds.

Members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, 
Chairman of FMR Corp., are the predominant owners, directly 
or through trusts, of Series B shares of common stock of FMR 
Corp., representing 49% of the voting power of FMR Corp.  
The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders 
have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under 
which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the 
majority vote of Series B shares.  Accordingly, through their 
ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the 
shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson 
family may be deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 
1940, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

Neither FMR Corp. nor Edward C. Johnson 3d, 
Chairman of FMR Corp., has the sole power to vote or direct 
the voting of the shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds, 
which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.  
Fidelity carries out the voting of the shares under written 
guidelines established by the Funds' Boards of Trustees.

Fidelity Management Trust Company, 82 Devonshire 
Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of FMR Corp. and a bank as defined in Section 
3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is the 
beneficial owner of  4,700 shares or 0.003% of the Common 
Stock outstanding of the Company as a result of its serving as 
investment manager of the institutional account(s).

Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR Corp., through its 
control of Fidelity Management Trust Company, each has sole 
dispositive power over 4,700 shares and sole power to vote or 
to direct the voting of 4,700 shares of Common Stock owned 
by the institutional account(s) as reported above.

Strategic Advisers, Inc., 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, 
MA 02109, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and an 
investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the 
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, provides investment 
advisory services to individuals.  As such, FMR Corp.'s 
beneficial ownership includes 180 shares, or 0.000%, of the 
Common Stock stock outstanding of Ross Stores Incorporated, 
beneficially owned through Strategic Advisers, Inc.

Fidelity International Limited ("FIL"), Pembroke Hall, 
42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda, and various foreign-based 
subsidiaries provide investment advisory and management 
services to a number of non-U.S. investment companies and 
certain institutional investors.  FIL, which is a qualified 
institution under section 240.13d-1(b)(1) pursuant to an SEC 
No-Action letter dated October 5, 2000, is the beneficial 
owner of 67,000 shares or 0.046% of the Common Stock 
outstanding of the Company.

A partnership controlled predominantly by members of 
the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR Corp. 
and FIL, or trusts for their benefit, owns shares of FIL voting 
stock with the right to cast approximately 38% of the total 
votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting stock.  
FMR Corp. and FIL are separate and independent corporate 
entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed 
of different individuals.

FMR Corp. and FIL are of the view that they are not 
acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that 
they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the 
"beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by 
the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 
promulgated under the 1934 Act.  Therefore, they are of the 
view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be 
aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR 
Corp. is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the 
shares are beneficially owned by FMR Corp. and FIL on a 
joint basis.
