New Belk concept to open in Wesley Chapel

State of play: The new concept will offer women's men's and kids clothing, plus accessories and decor, in a smaller footprint, the Charlotte-based company announced.

• The Wesley Chapel store was set to debut this Saturday, but that was postponed. No new date has been announced.

Flashback: Belk once had a larger footprint in Tampa Bay as Belk Lindsey, a subset of Belk stores across Florida and Puerto Rico co-founded by Sunshine State native Colin Lindsey, per the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

• Locations were in Tampa's Britton Plaza, Port Richey's Gulfview Square Mall and the former Eastlake Square Mall, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

These days, the nearest Belk stores are in Spring Hill, Lakeland or an outlet store in Land O' Lakes.

Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that the Belk Market's grand opening in Wesley Chapel was postponed.
