BELK, INC.
CHARLOTTE, NC

Founded in 1888 by William Henry Belk, BELK, INC. began as a modest bargain store in Monroe, North Carolina with an initial investment of $750 in savings and additional financial backing totaling around $3,800 including loans and consigned goods. Over the years, it has grown into the United States' largest privately-owned department store chain, maintaining its core values of friendly service, fair pricing, and community involvement rooted deeply in Southern tradition. BELK is committed to modernizing its brand identity, exemplified by launching a new logo and tagline that solidify its position as a beacon for 'Modern. Southern. Style.' To continue enhancing the customer experience, significant investments are being made in store renovations and technological advancements. The company's rich legacy of philanthropy and community service dates back to its founders who placed high importance on giving back to their communities. The Belk Foundation embodies this dedication, highlighting BELK as a socially responsible corporation. BELK values the contributions of its associates, fostering an environment enriched with opportunities for training, advancement, and fair compensation packages. It actively seeks individuals eager for long-term career growth rather than temporary jobs. Ensuring its operations align with ethical standards is paramount; thus, compliance with legal, human rights, and environmental regulations remains a core focus area, especially regarding partnerships that adhere to the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 and the Dodd-Frank Act. BELK is dedicated to preventing any form of involuntary labor within its supply chain and promoting transparency concerning conflict minerals from regions like the Democratic Republic of Congo. The enterprise has expanded beyond North Carolina to serve a national market while remaining headquartered at 2801 West Tyvola Road, Charlotte, NC. Its leadership includes William R. Langley as EVP and Shaina B. Hall as Executive Director. For customers and associates alike, the company ensures robust support through dedicated customer service channels such as the Belk Rewards Card Customer Service. BELK continues to thrive under its foundational mission of serving Southern families with style and integrity since March 13, 1998. With compliance efforts continuously updated, BELK assures that it remains responsible not only to its clientele but also to broader societal values.
