110-Year-Old Retail Giant Bealls to Accept Meme Coins and Stablecoins in Stores

Bealls, a 110-year-old US retail chain with over 660 stores nationwide, has announced a new partnership with digital payments firm Flexa to enable in-store cryptocurrency payments. With this integration, Bealls becomes the first national retailer to accept digital currencies from any crypto wallet across more than a dozen blockchains at once.

The announcement marks Bealls’ 110th anniversary and highlights the company’s ongoing focus on innovation and improving customer experience. Over the years, the retailer has invested in new technologies, such as in-store kiosks and online shopping, and this latest move places it among the early adopters of crypto payments in physical retail.
