Bed Bath & Beyond Returns to Former Kirkland's Locations
7 Dec
Summary
- Bed Bath & Beyond acquired The Brand House Collective for $26.8 million.
- About 250 Kirkland's stores will convert to Bed Bath & Beyond.
- Over 40 underperforming Kirkland's stores will close in early 2026.
Bed Bath & Beyond is set to re-establish its physical presence by acquiring The Brand House Collective, the company that previously operated as Kirkland's. This significant $26.8 million transaction is anticipated to conclude in the first quarter of next year. As part of the merger, approximately 250 of The Brand House Collective's stores will undergo a conversion into Bed Bath & Beyond locations within the next two years.
This rebranding initiative comes after Bed Bath & Beyond filed for bankruptcy in 2023, leading to the closure of all its brick-and-mortar stores, though online sales continued. The company has already reopened some locations, including the first Bed Bath & Beyond Home in Brentwood, Tennessee, on August 8. The acquisition also involves the purchase of Kirkland's intellectual property for $10 million.
While the specifics for Delaware remain unclear, with three Kirkland's stores present, the company has announced that over 40 underperforming Kirkland's stores will cease operations in early 2026. Bed Bath & Beyond had previously closed its two Delaware locations and a Buy Buy Baby store in 2023 following its bankruptcy filing.
