Description
DANBURY, CT — Bed, Bath & Beyond will close four stores in Connecticut. These are among 63 locations nationwide the housewares chain announced it would shutter by the end of this year.
The story was first reported on Friday by USA Today.
The Bed, Bath & Beyond stores in Connecticut scheduled to close by Dec. 31 are:
Danbury: 13 Sugar Hollow Rd.Milford: 1212 Boston Post Rd.Farmington: 1603 Southeast Rd.Torrington: 1914 East Main St. Bed, Bath & Beyond's senior manager for Public Relations, Jessica Joyce, called the move "an important step in our multi-year program to create a sustainable, durable business and invest where it matters most to our digital-first customers and our people."
Earlier this year, before the coronavirus outbreak, the retailer closed 40 stores. In July, the New Jersey-based home goods giant, whose sister stores include World Market, buybuyBaby and Harmon Face Values, said it would be closing about 200 stores in the next few years. The locations announced Friday are the first wave of those closings.
As it sunsets more brick-and-mortar operations, the retailer will be amping up its online presence. "This includes the launch of an exciting array of customer-inspired owned brands in 2021, along with new omnichannel services that provide faster, more convenient shopping like Buy-Online-Pickup-In-Store, Curbside Pickup and same-day delivery," according to Joyce.
