Less than two years after closing its final store, Bed Bath & Beyond will return as a brick-and-mortar retailer in 2025. The planned smaller-format, “neighborhood” Bed Bath & Beyond locations come via a new deal between its parent company, Beyond Inc., and retail chain Kirkland’s. The home decor retailer will serve as the exclusive brick-and-mortar operator and licensee for Beyond’s stable of brands, which include Overstock and Zulily in addition to Bed Bath & Beyond. As part of the agreement, Beyond will invest $25M in a debt-and-equity deal to improve Kirkland’s capital position and bolster growth plans, Chain Store Age reported.
