I know they had a store in Athens, Henderson County, Texas in the 1950's and Palestine, Anderson County, Texas about the same time. If you get on google and type in Bealls in Texas you may be able to find some information on them. Or try the Cherokee County Texas Genealogical Society or East Texas Genealogical Society.
