Key takeaways:
- Bed Bath & Beyond is launching 22 co-branded Bed Bath & Beyond + The Container Store locations in Phase One of a nationwide rollout.
- The new format combines home essentials, organization, custom spaces and installation services under one roof as part of the company’s Everything Home strategy.
- Bed Bath & Beyond has completed or announced a series of acquisitions since early 2026, including The Container Store, F9 Brands, Installed Right and Fathom Holdings.
Bed Bath & Beyond is accelerating the physical transformation of its retail portfolio, announcing the first phase of a nationwide rollout of the new Bed Bath & Beyond + The Container Store co-branded format across 22 markets.
The phase one locations, which begin welcoming customers immediately, span major markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Boston, Atlanta, Seattle and Nashville, among others. Additional stores are scheduled to convert in the coming weeks.
The rollout follows the format’s debut in Fort Worth, Texas earlier this year and represents the largest step yet in Bed Bath & Beyond’s “Everything Home” strategy, a vision CEO and Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis has been assembling through an aggressive series of acquisitions since taking the reins as CEO in January 2026.
“Our customers don’t think about their homes in categories,” Lemonis said in a statement. “For decades, customers have had to visit multiple retailers, websites and service providers to complete a single home project. That model no longer works.”
The new stores combine Bed Bath & Beyond’s assortment of bedding, bath, kitchen, entertaining and home essentials with The Container Store’s expertise in organization, custom spaces and in-home services, including custom closets, organization systems, design services and installation solutions.
The company also indicated customers will begin to see the expansion of Beyond Home Services into the stores, adding capabilities such as cabinetry, flooring and installation.
“This isn’t a retail experiment,” said Amy Sullivan, President of Bed Bath & Beyond, in a statement released Thursday. “It’s the beginning of a completely new model for home retail.”
The company has set a longer-term target of 300 stores across multiple formats, including co-branded stores, neighborhood formats, Bed Bath & Beyond Seasonal Living and BuyBuy Baby locations.
Building the ‘Everything Home’ Vision
The co-branded store rollout is the culmination of a deal-making sprint that has reshaped Bed Bath & Beyond under Lemonis, who joined the company as Executive Chairman in February 2024 and was named CEO in January 2026 after retiring from his longtime role leading Camping World.
In outlining his vision upon taking the CEO role, Lemonis made clear the word “Beyond” was central to the strategy. “It stands for our commitment to support the family, the four corners of their property and the four walls of their home,” he said in a statement. “I want to make owning, living in and caring for a home easier, less expensive and more rewarding for all.”
That vision is organized around three fully integrated pillars: Homeownership and Transactions, Omnichannel Commerce and Home Services, all tied together by what Lemonis calls “Beyond Home OS,” an AI-powered home operating system designed to connect commerce, services, insurance, warranties, financing, home attributes and customer behavior across the platform.
A Year of Deals Already in 2026
The pace of acquisitions picked up sharply in early 2026. In April, Bed Bath & Beyond announced it would acquire The Container Store, which had emerged from a month-long bankruptcy as a private company in January 2025, for $150 million. The deal, which is expected to close in July 2026, includes approximately 100 locations as well as Elfa and Closet Works, which Lemonis described as foundational anchors of the company’s Home Services pillar.
Less than a week after that announcement, Bed Bath & Beyond acquired F9 Brands, the parent of Cabinets To Go, Lumber Liquidators, Gracious Home/Thos. Baker and Southwind Building Products, for nearly $150 million. The deal added the nation’s largest specialty kitchen cabinet retailer, a 200-plus-store flooring chain and a building materials distribution business serving more than 4,400 independent retailers and contractors. F9 Brands President and CEO Jason Delves, who grew the company from $145 million to $522 million in sales during his tenure, joined Bed Bath & Beyond as CEO of Beyond Home Services.
In June, the company added two more acquisitions to that division: Detroit-based Installed Right and SFV Services, acquired in an all-stock deal valued at approximately 7.2 million shares of common stock. The two businesses, which generated roughly $60 million in combined revenue, brought professional installation, renovation and general contracting capabilities to the platform, filling what had been a notable gap in the strategy. The founder and his family became long-term shareholders in Bed Bath & Beyond as part of the all-stock arrangement.
On Wednesday, Bed Bath & Beyond announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Fathom Holdings, a technology-driven real estate services platform integrating residential brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance and SaaS offerings. The transaction, expected to close in the second half of 2026, would add a Homeownership and Transactions pillar to Bed Bath & Beyond’s Everything Home strategy alongside Omnichannel Commerce and Home Services.
“Homeownership remains fragmented,” Lemonis said in a statement. “People buy homes from one company, finance them through another, furnish them through a third and renovate them with someone else. We believe homeowners deserve something better.”
The acquisitions come as Bed Bath & Beyond is showing early signs of financial recovery. In Q1 2026, the company posted net revenue of $248 million, a 6.9% increase year-over-year and its first meaningful quarter of revenue growth in 19 quarters.
