Bed Bath & Beyond has filed for bankruptcy. It caps a long deterioration for a retailer that didn't keep up with shifts in shopping trends.

“Thank you to all of our loyal customers. We have made the difficult decision to begin winding down our operations,” a statement at the top of the company’s website said Sunday morning. The company’s 360 Bed Bath & Beyond locations, along with its 120 buybuy BABY stores, will remain open for now, as will websites. The company secured a $240 million loan to help fund its operations during bankruptcy.

The 1,000th Bed Bath & Beyond store opened in 2009, when the chain had reached $7.8 billion in annual sales. The company was something of an iconoclast.
