The History of Belk Department Stores

I wanted to continue more of the company history videos by talking about Belk Department stores. I was actually quite surprised and interested by what I found on their history

Worked for Belk. It’s a great starter job, unless you’re planning on going into retail management. Every store is different, but wasn’t impressed with those that were usually promoted by the end.

Again, great starter job, but doesn’t have potential, unless you’re going into retail management.

Belk never made it to Missouri but I stopped in one in Tennessee and I've been an online shopper since. That was 20 years ago.

Grew up in Bluefield, WV with Leggetts that started in downtown and then moved to Mercer Mall. Even though very similar, I always preferred Leggetts. Grew up with the story that a BELK daughter married. Leggett boy and they split the Virginia’s to Leggetts and the Belks to the Carolinas. Regardless, BELK is still the store to beat!

I do remember going to Leggett growing up but rarely go to Belk. I remember the former was an amazing place. There's a Belk in Williamsburg and Suffolk.

In the 1980's, a lot of belks were known as belk-tyler. Did you research that?

Beware ordering online from Belk, if you have a problem, they are not interested in making things right. You can file all the complaints with BBB and online complaints, and they don't care. Buyer beware online.

I remember Legget growing up. There was a small one in West Point, Virginia that my grandmother used to visit. Later, I remember the one at Virginia Center Commons. There is a Belk here in Williamsburg. The store is attractive and seems to be doing well, but I rarely find things that interest me. Very interesting company history.

Is it still safe to order things from this place online?
