Ross Stores Audience Graph • Social Signal

Ross Stores' top 10 neighbors span footwear, quick-service restaurants, sports leagues, and soccer clubs — with no other department store appearing in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score of 0.91 means the audiences look nearly identical in shape, regardless of what the entities sell or do.

The shape is flat: the top 10 scores run from Skechers at 0.91 down to FIFA World Cup at 0.86, a narrow band with no single dominant neighbor. Skechers (Footwear, 0.91) and Wingstop (QSR, 0.90) sit at the top, followed closely by FIFA.com (Sports Leagues, 0.90) and IHOP (Casual Dining, 0.89). UEFA Champions League (Sports Leagues, 0.89) and Jack in the Box (QSR, 0.88) round out the middle of the band. The subcategory mix is striking: four of the top 10 are restaurants or QSR chains, three are soccer-related organizations — FIFA.com, UEFA Champions League, and FC Barcelona (Sports Teams, 0.87) — and Cristiano Ronaldo (Athletes, 0.86) appears alongside FIFA World Cup (Sporting Events, 0.86). This is a cross-kind cluster: none of the top 10 neighbors share Ross Stores' own subcategory of Department Stores.

The overall picture is an audience whose shape is defined by everyday dining, accessible footwear, and a strong pull toward global soccer — a combination that cuts across retail entirely.
