Bealls is an American family-owned brand of retail department stores that stocks apparel, home goods, gifts, toys, and more. Whether shopping in-store or online, customers will find a wide selection of clothing for children and adults, bed linens, accessories, holiday decorations, small kitchen appliances, shoes, etc. In addition to products from their own design shop, Bealls offers branded merchandise such as Levi’s, Hamilton Beach, Coca-Cola, Fisher-Price, Adidas, and more.
Founded in 1915 in Bradenton, Florida, Bealls was started by 22-year-old Robert M. Beall Sr. when he opened a dry goods store. Originally called The Dollar Limit, the store sold nothing for more than $1 and used empty wooden packing crates as their first tables. The name changed to Bealls Department Store in 1946 and the company began adding stores. By 2004, Bealls had hundreds of stores and opened its own design studio to customize its product line and keep costs low.
