Industry sources say Ross Stores has an option to buy 193 acres for an estimated $8 million or $41,451 per acre (95 cents psf). The land is south of the Carowinds Boulevard interchange for Interstate 77 in York County, SC.

The property is owned by a group of investors who acquired it a decade ago. Ross officials have not commented on the land purchase.
