Bed Bath & Beyond, which had locations in Gaithersburg, Germantown, and Rockville, is being relaunched today as an online-only retailer. Bed Bath & Beyond’s intellectual property was purchased by Overstock.com for $21.5 million in June. Both companies will now fall under the Bed Bath & Beyond name and Overstock.com now redirects you to bedbathandbeyond.com. Per Overtsock.com: The beloved home brand, Bed Bath & Beyond, is back! This leading consumer brand, which was purchased by Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) in June, announced today the launch of BedBathandBeyond.com in the U.S. This launch marks a transformation for both Overstock and Bed Bath & Beyond, merging the best of both companies into a single online shopping destination under the Bed Bath & Beyond name.

“This is a historic day for Bed Bath & Beyond and Overstock – and for the broader ecommerce industry,” said Jonathan Johnson, CEO of the new Bed Bath & Beyond. “Overstock has a great business model with a name that does not reflect its focus on home. Bed Bath & Beyond is a much-loved and well-known consumer brand, which had an outdated business model that needed modernizing. Through this rebranding, we’re breathing new life into Bed Bath & Beyond, positioning it as an asset-light, ecommerce retailer with an expanded home furnishings and furniture assortment. Think of it as Bed Bath & a much bigger, better Beyond.”

Company Purchases 11 Buy Buy Baby Leases Including Rockville Location; Could Re-Open Stores

Published July 26, 2023 at 8:48PM

Dream on Me, the New Jersey-based company that recently purchased BuyBuy Baby’s brand and digital assets for $15.5 million and was a supplier for the store, was the successful bidder for 11 store leases at a bankruptcy auction for about $1.17 million, according to court records that were filed last week. Buy Buy Baby’s sole Montgomery County location, at 1683 Rockville Pike in Rockville’s Congressional Plaza, will be closing its doors on Sunday, July 30th. According to court documents, the Rockville location, which was the first Buy Buy Baby store to ever open, is included in the eleven leases that were purchased.

Per CNBC, “It is not immediately clear what Dream on Me plans to do with the 11 leases. The retailer does not have a brick and mortar footprint and currently sells its goods through a host of retail partners, including Amazon, Kohl’s, Target, Walmart and Home Depot, according to its website. However, Dream on Me could use the Buy Buy Baby IP assets it already obtained – plus the leases – to reopen the beloved chain.”
