CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Big changes are coming to the Belk department store at Governor’s Square Mall. According to a news release from Cafaro, the store is about to become a “Belk Outlet.”

“It’s a place where fashion-conscious people will find even more of the style and selection they have come to love. Clearance merchandise from other Belk stores in the region will be shipped to this new Belk Outlet in Clarksville. Expect more variety and more brands available at affordable prices,” said Joe Bell, director of corporate communications for Cafaro, in the release.

In order to transform the store, the Governor’s Square Belk will remain temporarily closed. Crews are now making physical changes inside, with the new Belk Outlet expected to open in April.

Charlotte-based Belk Inc. is a privately owned department store that opened its first location back in 1888. Today, Belk serves customers at nearly 300 stores in 16 Southeastern states, at belk.com and through the mobile app.

Governor’s Square Mall is at 2801 Wilma Rudolph Blvd. and has been serving the community since 1986. It is owned and operated as part of the Cafaro family of companies, based in Niles, Ohio.
