Abstract:

"Born in Monroe in 1888, a home-grown department store became, for generations of North Carolinians, the gold standard of Christmas shopping." W.H. Belk and his brother John expanded the business by partnering with investors in other towns,. One example being Hudson Belk in Raleigh. In the 1960s, Belk began the shift from a value orientation to a fashion orientation. Belk Inc. was sold in 2015 to Sycamore Partners.
