Bed Bath & Beyond brand is coming back to physical stores
Bed Bath & Beyond brand will be available at Container Store locations
Bed Bath & Beyond CEO Jonathan Johnson explains why Overstock.com rebranded as the iconic retailer and how it plans to navigate the current economic climate.
Beyond Inc. is looking to bring the Bed Bath & Beyond brand back to physical stores more than a year after it went out of business.
On Wednesday, Beyond Inc., which owns brands including Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock and Zulily, said it's investing $40 million in the Container Store Group.
Under this new partnership, the companies will utilize a section within the Container Store’s real estate locations to showcase the Bed Bath & Beyond assortment for kitchen, bath and bedroom, which will be co-branded.

It would also mark a comeback for the Bed, Bath & Beyond brand, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2023 after several failed attempts to turn around its business, and subsequently shuttered all of its physical store locations.
