The toy seller has since begun to attempt a comeback through a partnership with Macy’s, and opened its first post-bankruptcy store in 2019 under new ownership.

Bed Bath & Beyond announced plans to permanently close about 200 stores over the next two years. Other retailers have followed a similar game plan after bankruptcy and store closings.Ī view of Bed Bath & Beyond Branch in New York City on September 22, 2020. The company expects to notify customers about its registry plans in the coming days. Bed Bath & Beyond said it will no longer award points to customers for purchases, starting Sunday.īed Bath & Beyond, a staple of wedding registries for years, said customers who registered with Bed Bath & Beyond will eventually have their information transferred to a competitor’s service, where guests can purchase similar items. The store will stop accepting gift cards on May 8, and the brands Welcome Rewards points will stop being accepted on May 15. The company encouraged shoppers to seek out its discounted merchandise later this week, but those sales come with big caveats: Items purchased before Wednesday can be returned until May 24, but all sales after Wednesday will be final. After that, and especially if it starts closing stores and sets liquidation sales, creditors wouldn’t want to allow shoppers to tack on those 20% off coupons on top of 70% off liquidation prices,” said Burt Flickinger, retail expert and managing director of retail consultancy Strategic Resource Group. “If Bed Bath & Beyond files for bankruptcy, the retailer might honor the 20% coupons for a 30-day period. Instead, Bed Bath & Beyond expects to offer “deep discounts” on its products as part of its going-out-of-business sales. The company will stop accepting coupons on Wednesday. The company said customers will have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to use their remaining 20%-off coupons. GrowBot is based on a strongly interdisciplinary character and can open the way for a new technological paradigm around the concept of growing robots, fostering a European innovation eco-system for several high-tech sectors.Bed Bath & Beyond coupon shoppers take note: If you have a stash of its big blue 20% off coupons in your drawer or in your inbox, better use them soon.īed Bath & Beyond said it would sell off its merchandise and then go out of business. The GrowBot objective is to develop low-mass and low-volume robots capable of anchoring themselves, negotiating voids, and more generally climbing, where current climbing robots based on wheels, legs, or rails would get stuck or fall. This continuous growth is particularly evident in climbing plants. To move from one point to another, plants must grow and continuously adapt their body to the external environmental conditions. Instead, they move greatly, on a different time scale, purposively, effectively and efficiently. Plants are still a quite unexplored model in robotics and ICT technologies, as their sessile nature leads to think that they do not move. GrowBot proposes a disruptively new paradigm of movement in robotics inspired by the moving-by-growing abilities of climbing plants. GrowBot is a European project funded under the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) programme, specifically FET-Proactive, of the EU framework programme for research and innovation (Horizon 2020).
