Charlotte-based Belk said it has started construction on a $5.5 million, major overhaul of its store in the Rock Hill Galleria, a project that will increase the store's size and add more merchandise.
The store's size will be increased by 20,000 square feet, bringing it to 100,000 square feet total. Belk said the store will remain open, although some departments have been relocated to the former Goody's store in the mall.
“We’re totally rebuilding our store from top to bottom to create an exciting new décor and shopping experience for our customers in Rock Hill and the surrounding community,” said Debra Niekamp, store manager, in a statement. “Our new store will reflect the latest in retail layout, decor and merchandise presentation, and we believe customers will love the new brands and style assortments that we’ll be adding throughout the store. In the meantime, we urge customers to be patient with us as our new store takes shape. We are doing all we can to minimize any inconvenience during the construction work.”
