About this Deal
It's just been disclosed that Belk will file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The department store, which has been in business for nearly 200 years, made the decision in efforts to reduce debt in the long term and regain a stronger financial foothold. The company has been struggling for a few years, especially during the pandemic with less shoppers coming in stores to buy.
