All 98 of the Container Store locations, including the ones in San Antonio and Austin, are resetting the sales floors to prepare for the integration of Bed Bath & Beyond products, which will roll out in phases later this year.
The renovated sites will become the Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond, it said. The company began liquidating 30% of its select categories and products on Friday as part of the overhaul.
“This is a reset with purpose,” said Jen Pape, senior vice president of stores at the Container Store. “We are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what’s next. By streamlining select categories today, we’re creating the space and flexibility needed to introduce Bed Bath & Beyond products and deliver a more complete home experience for our customers.”
The rebranded stores will feature the Container Store’s traditional organizational products and in-home services with Bed Bath & Beyond’s complementary lines of home goods.
In San Antonio, the Container Store at 333 N.W. Loop 410 at the San Pedro Crossing mall on the North Side is getting a rebrand, as is the one in North Austin at 9629 Research Blvd. and 11 other stores in Texas, including sites in Dallas, Houston, Plano and Fort Worth.
Bed Bath & Beyond agreed to acquire the Container Store earlier this month, with plans to close on it in July. The transaction also included the Container Store’s Sweden-based Elfa business and its Chicago-based Closet Works business.
The Container Store exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late January last year, becoming a privately held company. It has spent the year restructuring, reducing debt and securing new financing.
