Bed, Bath, Beyond will close about 150 stores and reduce its workforce by 20%

Ten years ago BBB was a great place to buy dishes. Tons of variety. When I was buying dishes for my new house recently, virtually no variety. It also feels like a lot of their products have been replaced with the kind of cheap junk you'd buy on Amazon and not worry if it broke.

Bed bath and beyond is the new Sears/Kmart. Zombie store that well survive way longer than it reasonably should as part of some sort of investment scam

Coincidently, my wife and I drive by one of their stores that I didn’t realize was so close to our current home.<p>I asked her if she knew it was there and she said she refuses to go there because they are 2-3x the price of Amazon, even with all their gimmicky 20% coupons.<p>I understand how Amazon can best out on product costs, but being 50-75% less seems crazy to me.

Brit here, so I&#x27;m observing from outside. If they&#x27;re cutting workforces and raising debt, I&#x27;d reckon this is the beginning of the end. Frankly, I think it&#x27;s throwing good money after bad. I&#x27;ve taken a casual interest on some of the travails of the US retail sector, and I&#x27;d rate the odds as being against them.
