Belk Announces Remodeling of Blue Ridge Mall Store in Hendersonville
Belk Stores today announced the remodeling of its fashion department store located at Blue Ridge Mall in Hendersonville, N.C. The $2 million project will allow the store to offer expanded merchandise, including new styles of shoes and accessories.
The Hendersonville store has undergone one remodel since its opening in 1983. The renovated store will feature a modern new shopping environment with the latest display fixtures, new tile flooring, ceilings and energy-efficient lighting, as well as updated restrooms and fitting rooms.
Construction is underway and will be completed in September, prior to the store’s grand re-opening on October 10, 2012. The store will remain open throughout the project.
“We are updating our store top to bottom, wall to wall to create an exciting new shopping experience for our loyal customers of the Hendersonville community,” said store manager Jill Henry. “The renovations will provide customers with a modern retail layout, decor and merchandise presentation, and allow us to expand the assortment and selection of top brands throughout the store.”
The 76,000 square-foot store will now offer an extended selection of accessories and a newly expanded shoe department.
The store’s new modern jewelry and accessories departments will also feature “open sell” fixtures, making it easier for customers to make their accessory selections.
“These improvements demonstrate Belk’s dedication to remaining the top department store of choice in the Hendersonville community,” said Henry. “We want to satisfy the Southern lifestyle fashion needs of our customers like no one else and deliver the fashion they desire and the value they deserve.”
