Belk 2011 Memorial Day Sales Event – Deals on Shoes, Jewelry, Handbags and Watches in May 2011

With Memorial Day weekend not far away millions of American shoppers are going to start researching the best sales and deals that could help them save a significant amount of money.  By doing research online many will look for great deals at the Belk 2011 Memorial Day sales event.  During this event there will likely be low prices and deals on shoes, jewelry, handbags, and watches which could be a huge hit for this company.


Although many people outside of the southeast have not heard of Belk it is a retailer that has seen huge growth over the last several years as many are looking for a department store that is not Sears, JCPenney or Dillards.  As we continue to move forward with technology it is also the case that many customers are looking online for their purchases and Belk has done a great job of creating an online presence with their website.  Even though it does not compete with Overstock or Amazon it is still a website that allows customers to make purchases quickly and easily.

With the end of May 2011 being a major sales event with Memorial Day weekend highlighting the finale of these sales we look for many Americans to seek the lowest priced deals available.  With that being said it is important to remember that there will be many people out and about so it might be smart to create a map as to where you will go before heading out on this popular shopping weekend.

Here is some more information about Belk from Wikipedia:

Founded in 1888 by William Henry Belk, the store was first called “New York Racket” and then “Belk Brothers,” after Belk made his brother, Dr. John Belk, a physician, as his partner.
By 1908, the company had moved its headquarters to Charlotte and built a giant flagship store on Trade and Tryon Streets in downtown Charlotte. That store was closed in 1988 to make way for what is now Bank of America Corporate Center and the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center.
The business grew steadily, relying on “bargain sales” and advertising to grow the business. Today, the chain is still family-owned and currently has 306 stores in 19 states, particularly in the Carolinas,[2] along with the Atlanta and Birmingham metro areas. The Atlanta area now has the largest concentration of Belk stores in any of its markets. The southernmost Belk store is located in Fort Myers, Florida. In 2006, Belk generated US$2.97 billion in sales and employed 17,900 people.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, Belk completed the sale of their private label credit card division, Belk National Bank, to GE MoneyBank. Consumers were issued new Belk credit cards replacing the old ones issued by BNB. All new Belk cards are now issued by GE Money Bank.[2]
