Bed Bath & Beyond is making a return to brick-and-mortar retail in Los Angeles and Orange counties by rolling out shop-in-shop spaces inside The Container Store locations, the company announced Thursday.<\/p>\n
The move follows Bed Bath & Beyond\u2019s 2023 bankruptcy and shift to an online-only model, with the retailer now partnering with The Container Store to reintroduce its products in physical stores.<\/p>\n
Four Southern California locations are among 98 stores nationwide being reconfigured into a combined \u201cThe Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond\u201d format.<\/p>\n
The sites in Los Angeles County are:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Century City, 10250 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 218;<\/p>\n
\u2014 El Segundo, 710 S. Sepulveda Blvd.; and<\/p>\n
\u2014 Woodland Hills, 21949 Ventura Blvd.<\/p>\n
There is one site in Orange County:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Costa Mesa, 901-G South Coast Drive.<\/p>\n
To prepare for the rollout, The Container Store launched a nationwide \u201cStore Changing\u201d event beginning April 24, discounting about 30% of select merchandise to make room for new inventory.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a reset with purpose,\u201d Jen Pape, senior vice president of stores at The Container Store, said in a statement. \u201cWe are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what\u2019s next. By streamlining select categories today, we\u2019re creating the space and flexibility needed to introduce Bed Bath & Beyond products and deliver a more complete home experience for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The company said the redesigned stores will combine its organizational products and services with Bed Bath & Beyond\u2019s expanded home goods assortment as part of a broader strategy to create a more comprehensive home retail experience.<\/p>\n
In a statement Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom welcomed the retailer\u2019s return to the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of profit to be made in California \u2014 and we\u2019re thrilled that Bed, Bath & Beyond is opening stores in the Golden State and taking advantage of the benefits of the world\u2019s fastest-growing economy,\u201d Newsom said.<\/p>\n
The rollout is expected to begin in May and continue in phases over the coming months, with the combined format representing the company\u2019s future operating model.<\/p>\n
