Three years after Bed Bath & Beyond filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed its brick-and-mortar locations, the home goods retailer is reopening in spaces operated by The Container Store at 98 locations across the U.S., including four in Houston.
How we got here
On May 16, The Container Store and Bed Bath & Beyond announced the opening of their first co-branded retail location in Fort Worth, with the plan to open dozens of merged locations across the U.S., according to a news release from Bed Bath & Beyond.
The details
The merged store layouts will allow customers to shop by room, integrating assortments from both retailers, according to the release.
The merger will see the expansion of core departments of The Container Store, such as kitchen, bath and closet with small appliances and textiles, while adding new areas customers know from Bed Bath & Beyond, such as dining, bedding and curtains.
The store also reintroduces familiar elements of Bed Bath & Beyond, including the towel wall and curated bed displays, according to the release.
Looking ahead
Over time, the company expects to operate more than 300 stores across multiple formats, including co-branded stores, neighborhood formats, Bed Bath & Beyond Seasonal Living, and buy BABY locations, according to the release.
