6 Georgia Bed Bath & Beyond Stores Tapped For Closure

GEORGIA — Five Bed Bath & Beyond stores in Georgia have joined the retail giant's growing list of shuttered locations, according to a list of closures updated on the company's website Wednesday.

The company announced the closures Tuesday but a list was not immediately available. It's the second round of closures the retailer has made in the past 10 days.

Below are the five Georgia stores part of the latest round:

• Duluth, 3675 Satellite Boulevard
• Brunswick, 197 Golden Isles Plaza
• Cumming, 1545 Marketplace Boulevard
• Gainesville, 1025 Davidsonville Highway
• Canton, 1810 Cumming Highway

It's unknown when the stores will close.

In the round of closures announced at the end of January, The Buckhead Loop store was one of 87 stores the company said would close. The five additional Georgia closures are part of a round of 150 closures.

Bed Bath & Beyond officials announced last month that it plans to cut an additional $80 million to $100 million with an unspecified number of layoffs.

While the goal of the store closures is to avoid bankruptcy, Reuters reported on Tuesday that Bed Bath & Beyond was exploring “multiple paths.” Reuters also reported that the retailer missed a loan payment and has not been paying its debts already this week as January comes to a close and could file for bankruptcy.
