Bealls /ˈbɛlz/ was a Texan chain of department stores, owned by Stage Stores Inc. and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The store specialized in retailing desirable brand name apparel, accessories, cosmetics, footwear, and housewares.
On May 11, 2020, it was announced that Stage had filed for bankruptcy and they soon began liquidating all locations.
The chain overlapped with the Florida-based Bealls chain, although the two were not related. In markets where the two chains overlapped, the Florida chain operates as Burkes Outlet instead. However in October 2020 Stage sold its intellectual property, including the national rights to use the Bealls name, to the Florida-based Bealls chain.
