Omni-channel retailer Bed Bath & Beyond has revealed plans to shut 43 more physical stores by the end of February.
The move is part of the retailer’s plan announced in July to right-size its real estate portfolio under the on-going restructuring programme that aims to reduce the cost of goods and drive supply chain transformation.

In line with this move, Bed Bath & Beyond will close 200 stores over the next two years.
In September, the retailer released the list of its first 63 stores set to close by the end of 2020 as part of a restructuring, USA Today reported.
The scheduled closures should take place in Puerto Rico and in 19 US states including California, Florida, Ohio, and Virginia.
Through the closure of 200 stores, Bed Bath & Beyond expects to generate future annualised savings of between $250 and $350m.
