hahsmom Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Our local dept store just changed to Belk. Is this a national store? Think we might see an ad for Belk b4 Thanksgiving? Personally never heard of Belk until recently.
pampam Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Most Belk stores are located in the southeastern US. Their primary focus is on name-brand clothing and accessories, high end cosmetics/fragrances and home related products like bed and bath, china, decor, etc. Their prices tend to be high. I used to shop at the local Belk and then find the same clothes for less at Goody's. Prior to Christmas there are frequent Belk ads in the paper with % off coupons. It's been quite awhile since I went there on Black Friday but the crowds were minimal.
kamandjaw Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 I love shopping at Belk on BF. The small town where I lived only had Belk, Walmart and Kmart so we would stop at Belks. The BF sales are pretty good especially on shoes, jewelry, pocketbooks and some clothes. I would check the paper to see if anything comes out.
CHRISTY17FAN Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Does anyone know if Belk is going to do the crackerjack sale that McRae's usually does? This is the first BF that we will have Belk instead of McRae's.

sheshagirl Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Last year they did some kind of % off everything in the store along with there sales. They are kind of like Macy's there pricey but when they have a sale it's a very good one.
believet Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Belks has nice named brand merchandise, but I only tend to shop there if they are having a really good sale. they are a little pricey to me.
tdanette Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Belk has nice clothes, frequent sales and lots of percent off coupons that are good even on clearance. Never been to Belk on BF but you can get lots of quality stuff year round in the clearance dept CHEAP!
Dork42775 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 My best friend is a manager at Belk and she told me a couple things but i really did'nt listen because i will be elsewhere (Best Buy) that morning. I can probably find out if anyone really wants to know.
darkkan Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Belk is taking over Parisian here at the nearest mall,and I am not happy about it. We have one in my small hometown, and it is overpriced mediocore brand stuff that you can get at other stores much cheaper mixed in with overpriced brand name stuff you can get at TJMaxx. I prefer Parisian, mainly because they have better sales and a better cosmetic selection.
krstee Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 My MIL is a frequent Belk shopper. She is amazing - she always seems to sniff out the best deals - and then loads up. She shops there so often, most of the clerks know her. lol! I like Belk - only b/c it convienent and just like Dillards/Macy's/Hecht's (you get the idea). I rarely buy anything in Belk without a coupon or a discount. I just can't bring myself to buy their stuff at regular price. Luckily, with my MIL, it's easy to shop there b/c she always knows when they are having their good sales.
momm2four Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Belk must be buying out everyone! They just took over all the Proffitt's stores here in Chattanooga. Haven't heard that they'll take Parisian here. Hope not. Lori P. :)

sylph211 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Belk usually has a good BF ad. Last year they had watches for cheap, sterling silver 50-70% off, brand name purses for 20 and under, um clothing at deep discounts etc. electronics for way cheap, and cookware on sale, they had pillows-the nice feather kind for 4.99 but i was too late. I went last year and got jewelry, shoes for insane prices and three purses, frying pan set, cd alarm clock, dvd player and walked outta there only spending 75.00 bucks. They usually wait until Thursday in the paper to put thier black friday ad. Great store a little pricey, but about the same as Parisans. I usually just shop thier sales and they tend to have quite a few of them.
momm2four Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Hi! TNDimples! Where are you going to be at 5 AM? lol Lori P. :)
Jave Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I went to Belk's last year for BF - they had some pretty good deals. Normally, I think they're overpriced. (also, it wasn't very crowded on BF, so that was a plus!)
