Major Housewares Brand Expanding As 22 New Stores Open — Including 1 In MN

Bed Bath & Beyond recently announced the launch of its first stores under its new Bed Bath & Beyond + The Container Store format, including one in Minnesota, after the home goods retailer reached an agreement to acquire The Container Store earlier this year.

The new stores combine Bed Bath & Beyond's bedding, bath, kitchen, entertaining and other offerings with The Container Store's focus on organization, custom spaces and in-home services.

As part of the merger, The Container Store announced in April that 98 of its locations would integrate Bed Bath & Beyond products into its stores. The first 22 locations were set to open under the new format as of June 18, Bed Bath & Beyond recently announced, with additional stores expected to convert to the new format over the coming weeks.

In Minnesota, one location opened last week in the Minneapolis area.

“For decades, customers have had to visit multiple retailers, websites and service providers to complete a single home project. One company for bedding, another for storage, another for closets, another for installation. That model no longer works,” Marcus Lemonis, executive chairman and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond, said in a news release.

“We believe the future belongs to businesses that solve complete customer problems. By bringing Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store together, we're creating a destination where customers can buy products, organize their spaces, design custom solutions and access services all under one roof.”

As Bed Bath & Beyond continues the rollout, customers will see the expansion of Beyond Home Services, which will add options such as cabinetry, flooring, installation and other home improvement offerings.

The company also announced this week that it would honor any Bed Bath & Beyond coupon, no matter how old, at Bed Bath & Beyond + The Container Store and Kirkland’s Home locations through July 13, with prizes up to a $100,000 value for lucky coupon users.
