Belk Department Store

I started out browsing in the children’s department where their clearance racks were pretty picked over, but that was okay. The department was nice and organized and a salesperson promptly greeted me and offered to hold the items I had in my hand. I asked about children’s coats and she said they were all gone and she even double checked with another associate. I appreciated the thoroughness, because how many times have you asked a question like this and they say, «whatever you see on the floor is what we have.» This extra effort made me want to come back when I had more time. Next I took the escalator up to the Clinique counter for some moisturizer. Since I had not been at the clinique counter in a while, I asked the first person who greeted me there to tell me about any new products. She quickly handed me over to another woman because she didn’t know. An older woman with a white bob haircut took over, and even though I was the only customer in the department, she was rushed and hasty, and said here’s this cream and that cream. She did not ask me if I was more interested in makeup or cleansers or anything. She did not look up at me the entire time. I like it when a salesperson says oh I have this cool new lipstain, or you willl love this item or that item. She just grabbed the first three things she saw, told me they were new, and said she had no personal experience with the items. I could tell she was going to be of no help, so I said I’d think about it and told her I was ready to pay for my moisturizer. She asked me if I wanted the pink or coral lipstick for my bonus, and I said I don’t know, what do you think would look good on me? I expected her to say you’d look good in the pink, or coral goes with your tones, but no, she stayed true and did not answer me or look up at me at all. She was the worst. At the end, she said «your receipt is in the bag» and I cheerfully said thank you and she only looked at me and raised her eyebrows. No «Thank you», no nothing. Ugh. I went there with not much makeup on hoping to get upsold and spend some money on myself!

EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED!
I have been actively looking for a suit for my son at various stores. After growing tired of merchants trying to sell us trendy suits with «skater pants» and tiny Asian inspired suits, I decided that my son and I should take a drive up to the Mall of Georgia to visit the major department stores. The smaller stores catering to men tend to want to sell you what they have or what is on trend instead of what you request. Nothing about my son says trendy and that needs to be respected. He has his own sense of style and it is specifically «old school».
Sometimes you just need to find a more mature option for a classic look. I had been in Belk last week when I noticed that they had a nice selection of individual suit separates. This was perfect because my son has a long torso with long arms and a very small waist. He requires a modern fit and it is great to find items that we then don’t have to have tailored.
We were able to go into Belk and find exactly what we needed, the classic pant with a cuff, a button down vest and a jacket in black. Because they were having a phenomenal sale, we were also able to purchase beautiful shirts in bright colors (fuschia, turquoise, red), and neck ties. Ms. Kathy provided great customer care and assistance throughout our visit.
If your spouse or son prefers a classic style when it comes to suits and business wear, I strongly recommend Belk. Ask for Kathy; she will set you straight!
Thanks Kathy!

Today Belks has a wonderful sale for Father’s Day. I was able to get my husband six pair pants and six Polo shirts for $ 220. Seriously. They had a sale of buy one pair pants at regular price and get 2 free. Also shirts was buy one at regular price and get 2 free. We saved $ 420.

I truly wish I could give Belk SIX stars. I shop all the time (guilty pleasure) and Belk is, by far, the BEST department store in the metro Atlanta area. The MOG store is exceptional! Great selection, great sales, quality merchandise and the customer service that is truly outstanding. I was recently in another major department store (which shall remain unnamed but begins with an «M») and kept thinking to myself «Boy, this place is so subpar compared to Belk!»
I am a loyal customer and love shopping at Belk — thank you and keep up the GREAT work!

This Belk is super nice, clean and organized! Very nice helpful employees and overall a great store!
