PROFILE |
 |
Department store operator Belk has shed a lot of bulk. Now a relatively svelte 207-store retailer operating in 13 states, the chain was a confederation of 112 separate companies before its 1998 reorganization. Belk stores, located in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic (primarily in the Carolinas and Georgia), offer mid-priced brand-name and private-label apparel, shoes, cosmetics, and home furnishings. Its stores usually anchor malls or shopping centers in small to medium-sized markets. The Belk family runs the show and owns most of the company, which is the biggest privately held department store chain in the US. Belk grew from a single store (called New York Racket) opened in Monroe, North Carolina, in 1888.
