Bed, Bath & Beyond to close 200 stores over the next 2 years

  • As with most other non-essential retailers during COVID-19, BBB is expected to close 20% of stores in the next 2 years to save on operating costs


  • The company expects to save upwards of $350 million from these store closures while they focus on expanding curbside and BOPIS capabilities as well as digital strategies
