Bed Bath & Beyond Opens Standalone Store in Glendale
The 19,000-square-foot Arizona location is the brand's first standalone store since its original owners filed for bankruptcy in 2023.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Retail
Neighborhood Intelligence opened a standalone Bed Bath & Beyond store in Glendale, Arizona, offering the original shopping experience, including its tower wall and 20% off coupons. The parent company is simultaneously closing 39 Kirkland's stores and 11 Container Store locations by yearend.
Why it matters
The opening signals the parent company's effort to revive the Bed Bath & Beyond brand through standalone retail after the original owners' bankruptcy. The closures reflect the company's move to shut underperforming locations from its recent acquisitions.
The Glendale store spans 19,000 square feet and is the first standalone Bed Bath & Beyond since 2023, while the co-branded Container Store concept has grown to 22 locations. Neighborhood Intelligence is closing 39 Kirkland's stores and 11 Container Store locations, and the extraction does not report sales or profit figures for the new store.
The players
Neighborhood Intelligence
Neighborhood Intelligence is the parent company that owns Bed Bath & Beyond, The Container Store, BuyBuy Baby, and Kirkland's.
Bed Bath & Beyond
Bed Bath & Beyond is a home goods retailer whose original owners filed for bankruptcy in 2023 before the brand was revived under new ownership.
The details
The store merchandises products by room and occasion and combines Bed Bath & Beyond brands with The Container Store's organization expertise. The company unveiled a co-branded store concept with The Container Store in June, following its acquisition of The Container Store earlier this year.
Timeline
2023: Original Bed Bath & Beyond owners filed for bankruptcy.
Earlier in 2026: Bed Bath & Beyond acquired The Container Store.
June 2026: The co-branded Bed Bath & Beyond and Container Store concept was unveiled.
November 2026: The standalone Glendale, Arizona store opened.
2027: Planned standalone stores open in Minnesota, Florida, and Mississippi.
Legacy Revival
The Glendale opening follows the 2023 bankruptcy filing by Bed Bath & Beyond's original owners, marking the brand's first standalone store since that filing. It reflects an attempt to restore the original store format under new parent-company ownership.
Glendale shoppers gain a local option to buy Bed Bath & Beyond merchandise in its original store format, including 20% off coupons. Customers of the closing Kirkland's and Container Store locations will need to shop elsewhere once those stores shut by yearend.
The takeaway
Shoppers who want the original Bed Bath & Beyond experience now have a local store to visit, while those near closing locations should plan alternative shopping options before yearend.
