Former Pittsburgh-Area Bed Bath & Beyond Spaces Being Filled

PITTSBURGH, PA — Slowly but surely, the spaces once occupied by Pittsburgh-area Bed Bath & Beyond are being filled by other retailers.

Discount furniture retailer Value City is going into the former Bed Bath & Beyond in Cranberry Mall. The discount furniture retailer's current Pittsburgh locations are in Robinson, Monroeville and West Mifflin.

At least two other Bed Bath & Beyond stores in the area have found new tenants.

In Ross, Hobby Lobby now occupies the former BB&B location on McKnight Road.

At The Waterfront in Homestead, Painted Tree Boutiques will open its first Pennsylvania store at an as-yet undetermined date. The store houses several different vendor spaces — including clothing, gifts and accessories — within its main store.

These moves all have occurred since late April, when Bed Bath & Beyond declared bankruptcy in April and announced it would close its 360 locations across the country.

While Bed Bath & Beyond is finished as a bricks and mortar retailer, its brand name has been revived. Overstock.com, which purchased the company's intellectual property rights in June, has changed its name to Bed Bath & Beyond.
