Five years ago there were 1,350 Bed Bath & Beyond stores in the United States and Canada. After this year's closures, the chain will have only 360 stores. Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond closed today at 0.82, 5¢ above their all-time low.
Bed Bath & Beyond is closing hundreds of stores – but they won’t be empty for long
CNN, Mar 21 2023 6:45 AM EDT
Bed Bath & Beyond is stripping down its big blue signs, clearing out aisles of linens and closing 400 stores as it tries to stave off bankruptcy. Already, chains including TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Ross have scooped up the vacant stores. Burlington, Five Below, Nordstrom Rack and budget gym Planet Fitness may also fill up the spaces, say retail landlords and real estate analysts. Bed Bath & Beyond’s real estate is a precious, scarce resource for retailers, gyms and anyone else who needs ample space. There’s been little new retail development since the 2008 financial crisis and the rise of online shopping, and vacancy rates are at historic lows.
