Belk announced a $5 million total renovation and expansion of its fashion department store at Decatur Mall in Decatur, Ala.

Construction on the home store addition is scheduled to begin in March, with the main store renovation starting in April. A grand re-opening of the renovated store is set for October 2012.
The store interior will be completely renovated to create an exciting new decor with new flooring, energy-efficient lighting and the latest display fixtures. The store's exterior entrance canopies are being replaced to give the store an updated look, and all restrooms, fitting rooms and other customer convenience areas will be completely renovated.
The expansion and remodeling will enable the store to add selling space in key departments throughout the store, including ladies and men's shoes; women's, men's and kids apparel; women's handbags, accessories and cosmetics; and home merchandise. The improvements will also include expanded and modernized juniors and dresses departments and a new open-sell fashion jewelry area.
Belk plans to add new fashion brands and expanded assortments with the expansion and remodeling, including Karen Kane, Lucky and Lauren in misses and Madison, JNY Sport, Rafaella and ND Weekend in petites.
The additions will complement current merchandise offerings that include top national brands such as Sophie Max, Jones New York Sport, Jones New York Signature, VAC by Nine West jeans, Calvin Klein jeans, Wacoal, Nine West accessories, Dooney and Bourke, Brighton accessories, Lucky jewelry, Kenneth Cole jewelry, Arden, Ugg, Merrel and Polo.
