The original Bed Bath & Beyond store description is discontinued because the chain filed for bankruptcy in 2023, closed all physical stores, and sold its brand to Overstock.com, which now operates the brand primarily online, with some new, smaller "Bed Bath & Beyond Home" physical stores opening in 2025 under new ownership (The Brand House Collective) focusing on home decor and furnishings, not just basic housewares. The iconic big-box experience with endless towels and coupons is largely gone, replaced by a digital-first model and a more curated physical store concept.

What Happened to the Old Stores:

Bankruptcy & Closures: After years of declining sales and failure to adapt to e-commerce, the company went bankrupt in April 2023, leading to the closure of all its stores.

Intellectual Property Sold: Overstock.com purchased the brand name and intellectual property in June 2023, redirecting its own website to bedbathandbeyond.com.

The New Bed Bath & Beyond:

Online Focus: The primary platform is now online, integrating Overstock's home goods offerings.
