Woodlands, Texas/Charlotte, N.C. — After announcing their partnership earlier this year, Conn’s. Inc.

Additional Conn’s x Belk locations are planned to open throughout the summer and early fall of 2022, along with an e-commerce experience coming to Belk.com this fall. The Conn’s x Belk locations feature a name brand assortment of all major Conn’s product categories including furniture, home electronics and appliances. The store-within-a-store format ranges from approximately 10,000 to 25,000 square feet depending on the Belk location.

“We’re thrilled that our first five Conn’s x Belk concept stores are open with more coming soon, giving us the opportunity to introduce new customers to Conn’s key differentiators, including our high-quality product assortment, white glove next-day delivery and in-house repair service,” said Chandra Holt, president and CEO of Conn’s. “This is an important step in our journey to scale, reimagine and strengthen our business.”
