Century-old American retailer Bealls Inc. has embraced digital currency by integrating cryptocurrency payments at over 650 U.S. locations through a partnership with Flexa. This strategic move allows customers to pay with major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and popular stablecoins.
The adoption signifies a major step toward mainstream retail acceptance of digital assets, driven by growing consumer demand. CEO Matt Beall is guiding these strategic changes, while President Tianne Doyle oversees operations and emphasized that the move aligns with the company's commitment to "innovating to meet customer needs." This decision follows a trend of major U.S. retailers adopting digital currencies to offer enhanced payment flexibility. While Bealls' annual sales surpass $1.9 billion, the immediate impact on cryptocurrency prices remains minimal.
