Bed Bath & Beyond and Kirkland's Combine to open new stores

Whoa. I didn't expect to hear this news.

Bed Bath & Beyond is joining forces with another home retailer to reopen stores

Retail Touch Points is reporting that Bed Bath & Beyond is teaming up with another home retailer you love to open up a new concept store. Yes, actual brick-and-mortar stores.

Bed Bath & Beyond shuttered its remaining physical stores a year and a half ago, a move that many didn't think would ever happen. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, many retailers have suffered due to the sudden shift to online shopping and not as much disposable income to shop.

Loyal fans of Bed Bath & Beyond wondered where they'd get the same quality products they were used to in a store, not just an online store, which is what its been reduced to.
