We’re proving that we’re up for the challenge.
We’re proud of our successes, and we recognize
that a vibrant future means expanding the ways
we do business, setting the pace in an industry
that’s all about setting trends.
The retail landscape continues to change, and
our aim is to be at the front of it. The future of our
business depends on technology, which is why we’re
focusing so much in this area: roughly half of the
company’s invested capital. New devices mean new
points of sale and new opportunities. Following our
customers’ online shopping trends makes for more
efficient merchandising and planning. And for retailers
of our scale, maintaining a complete and accessible
online presence is more important than ever.
We need people who have the expertise
to put these technologies into play.
People like you.

Charlotte: largest metro area
Home to families and young professionals alike,
to both transplants and natives of North Carolina,
Charlotte is a major economic center. It’s a place for
foodies, sports fans, concert-goers, art lovers, and
every type of outdoor enthusiast.
Belk and Charlotte have grown up
together. Our company’s history is
uniquely intertwined with the city we
call home. It’s a city that’s constantly
breaking through with innovations,
discoveries, and redefined standards
for what community and life are all
about. It’s only natural that it serves
as the backdrop for a company that
is continually remapping the fashion
landscape.
With approximately 300 stores
throughout 16 Southern states, a
growing digital presence, and $4.04
billion in annual sales, we’re the
nation’s largest family owned and
operated department store. We are
modern Southern style. We believe
in giving our customer the fashion
she desires and the value she
deserves. And we do it by delivering
fresh looks from today’s greatest
brands, with incredible service.
