Thread regarding Belk layoffs

Why does Belk want to cater to low budget customers?

I’ve always wondered that. Wouldn’t it make more sense to attract customers that actually HAVE money to spend? Instead of someone trying to get another 65% off a sweater that is already $9.99?

No, it doesn’t. But we don’t have to close and board up storefront. Gucci with a G is just too much for today’s suffering.

Actually you have to have a product or service that people want. People will part with the dollar if it’s needed. Air fryers and luggage are done a dozen..

just a general rule of thumb, in order to MAKE money you have to attract people that HAVE money. Business 101.

Wow! Y'all have turned this into a class warfare! I took the initial post as questioning sustainability of selling to the bargain shopper. Not much profit on items selling for $5 & $10! Jobs will be at risk if that's all we are selling.
