When Does the Sale Start?

Belk’s Black Friday Sale is expected to begin on Friday, November 21, 2025, which is a full week before Black Friday itself. The sale will likely run through Saturday, November 29, 2025. The official Black Friday ad is anticipated to drop around Wednesday, November 6, 2025. Last year’s ad was 28 pages long.

One important thing to note: all Belk stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 27, 2025), continuing a trend among many major retailers in recent years.

What Kind of Deals Can You Expect?

Belk has always been known for its wide-ranging Black Friday deals, and 2025 will likely be no different. Last year, the sale featured discounts of up to 80% off select items, and we expect similar markdowns this year. Here’s a breakdown of some of the categories where you’re most likely to find deals:

1. Apparel and Shoes

Clothing and footwear for the whole family are always a major highlight of Belk’s Black Friday Sale. Whether you’re shopping for cozy winter sweaters, formalwear, or casual staples, you’ll find deep discounts on a variety of styles.

Men’s, women’s, and kids’ clothing: Look out for markdowns of 50–80% off.
Shoes: Deals often include name-brand sneakers, boots, and dress shoes at some of the lowest prices of the year.

2. Fragrances and Cosmetics

Belk’s beauty section is another area to watch during Black Friday. Many popular designer fragrances and beauty gift sets are typically included in the sale, making it an excellent time to stock up or shop for holiday gifts.

3. Jewelry and Accessories

Expect to see significant discounts on fine jewelry, watches, and fashion accessories. Belk often features jewelry deals as doorbusters, so you might want to check the ad early to prioritize these items.

4. Kitchen Essentials and Small Appliances

For anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen, Belk’s Black Friday Sale is a great time to save on cookware, small appliances, and kitchen gadgets. Look for discounts on brands like Cuisinart, Ninja, and Hamilton Beach.

5. Bedding and Home Decor

Home goods are another area where Belk shines during Black Friday. Deals often include:

Comforter sets, sheets, and pillows at up to 70% off.
Holiday-themed home decor at steep discounts, perfect for getting your house ready for the season.

6. Doorbusters and In-Store Exclusives

Belk is known for offering limited-time doorbuster deals, some of which are exclusive to in-store shoppers. Last year, for example, they featured an in-store-only coupon to encourage customers to visit their brick-and-mortar locations (this was highlighted on page 4 of the ad). These types of offers are likely to return this year, so if you’re able to visit a store, it’s worth checking the ad for any in-store exclusives.
