How do you pronounce the department store name is it "BELLS" (as my wife adamently states) or "BEALLS" as it is on the paperwork with out the logo in the middle. Not the most important topic I know but it is iritating me no end

It is Bells. Like you I think they need to take that damned A out of there (their clever symbol for a bell).

It is Bells. I used to think it was BeAlls too before I moved here. My mom told me I was pronouncing it wrong.

Default Bealls

Your wife is correct. It's pronounced "Bells".
