Harmon, Bed Bath & Beyond Stores Closing In Somerset County

SOMERSET COUNTY, NJ — Bed Bath & Beyond is closing all Harmon Face Values locations, including in Raritan and Green Brook, as part of the company's reduction plan. The company also announced it is closing its Bridgewater Bed Bath & Beyond location as well.

"As we consider all paths and strategic alternatives, we continue to work with our advisors and implement actions to manage our business as efficiently as possible. The Company has initiated the closure of an additional 87 Bed Bath & Beyond and five buybuy BABY stores. This store fleet reduction expands the Company’s ongoing closure program of approximately 150 lower-producing Bed Bath & Beyond banner stores. Additionally, the Company announced the closure of all Harmon locations," said a spokesperson with Bed Bath & Beyond to Patch.

An employee at the Harmon's off the Somerville Circle said the company did not give them a closing date but a time frame of 8 to 10 weeks. However, she added that if you want anything come in now, as "things are flying off the shelves!"

An employee at the Bed Bath & Beyond in Bridgewater said she was unsure when their final opening date would be.

Bed Bath & Beyond, headquartered in Union, announced plans last August to close 150 of its roughly 900 stores and cut 20 percent of its workforce. In New Jersey, Paramus, Flanders and Manalapan were announced as part of the closures. Read more: More Closures For Bed Bath & Beyond, Buy Buy Baby In NJ
