Bed Bath & Beyond Closes 5 More California Stores By February As They Shift To E-Commerce

CALIFORNIA — Two northern California and three southern California Bed Bath & Beyond stores will close permanently by February, the chain announced this week.

A list of 37 locations across the country was released on Thursday, as part of the home goods mega store's continued transformation toward e-commerce, according to CEO Mark Tritton. The mega home goods store is remodeling 450 stores across the country and is moving online for the others in an effort to compete with Amazon, according to an East Bay Times report. The growing number of stores to be shuttered has increased due to failure to reach favorable lease agreements with some of its landlords, according to previous reports.

Each of the closing stores is currently offering liquidation sales, according to the home goods mega-chain.

• Milpitas: 147 Great Mall Drive.
• Campbell: Almarida Place, 515 East Hamilton Avenue
• Laguna Niguel: 32391 Golden Lantern
• Rancho Santa Margarita: 22235 El Paseo
• Tustin: Tustin Market Place II, 13692 Jamboree Road

The massive closures at Bed Bath & Beyond were announced in 2019, prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
