WHAT HAPPENED? Bed Bath & Beyond, America's quintessential home furnishings' chain, is fighting to stay in business. As WAKA 8 has reported, the Montgomery store is in the process of closing.

Bed Bath & Beyond, America’s quintessential home furnishings’ chain, is fighting to stay in business. The company has avoided a bankruptcy filing for now by completing a complex stock offering that will give it an immediate injection of $225 million in funds and a pledge for $800 million in the future to pay down its current debt load. Bed Bath & Beyond is also shrinking to save money. The company said it plans to close around 400 of its roughly 760 Bed Bath & Beyond stores.

“Why not just tell the customer that we’ll give you a discount on the item you want — and not the one that we want to put on sale? We’ll mail a coupon, and it will be a lot cheaper,” Bed Bath & Beyond co-founder Warren Eisenberg, now 92, said in a 2020 New York Times interview.
