Bed Bath & Beyond returning to Southern California
Bed Bath & Beyond is returning to the retail scene, co-opting space within The Container Store locations.
The retailer, which retreated to an online-only format at Overstock.com three years ago, will be available at 12 Container Stores in California, five in Southern California.
Bed Bath & Beyond in early April bought The Container Store for $150 million. Since then it’s been preparing to reconfigure 98 stores nationwide with the popular housewares products.
In an announcement Thursday, The Container Store said it was launching a chainwide "Store Changing" event on Friday, April 24. To make room for Bed Bath & Beyond line, the retailer is liquidating “30% of select categories” from Container Store shelves.
Eventually, the 98 stores will be reconfigured to a The Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond format, what the company is calling its “future operating model.”
Southern California combo formats are coming to:
Costa Mesa: 901-G South Coast Drive (next to South Coast Plaza)
El Segundo: 710 S Sepulveda Blvd. (Plaza El Segundo)
Los Angeles: 10250 Santa Monica Blvd, Suite 218 (Westfield Century City)
Woodland Hills: 21949 Ventura Blvd. (Gateway Plaza)
San Diego: 7097 Friars Road (Fashion Valley)
Bed Bath & Beyond closed its 360 brick-and-mortar locations in 2023 after filing for bankruptcy. The closures affected some 14,000 employees at the time.
The company, founded in 1971, grew to be one of the nation’s biggest retailers. Experts said its demise was not about competition but more about the company’s poor financial decisions, according to a Bloomberg report.
