Why Bed Bath & Beyond Is Facing Extinction

Bed Bath & Beyond became a massive homegoods retailer with a decentralized structure and a focus on keeping customers happy. In popular imagination, Bed Bath & Beyond is best known for its generous coupon policy. But critics say the once ubiquitous chain ignored the threat from newer, nimbler online rivals like Amazon.

Why Bed Bath And Beyond Is Facing Extinction.

[parthmistry]

CNBC should retitle all their videos to: "How Amazon is a threat to every business in the world"

[Sumi]

Because it’s overpriced. Lol I just go to Ross or Marshall’s for house stuff

[slol]

Once customers figure out the products are overpriced, they will never come back. And everyone seems to have figured it out.

[millos]

Everything is overpriced that's why I don't buy there anymore.

[Omggalaxy]

Yes omg can’t wait for the closing sale I can get that rug I’ve been waiting to go on sale for the last 10 years.

[DannyGIRL]

Just cut the gosh darn prices and I’ll start shopping there again.

[SapienSafari]

Bed Bath and Beyond is expensive. That’s their problem.

[donwilson]

Here's a coupon for 20% off anything in the store (except on any brand you'd want to buy)!

[Godsbeloveddaughterx]

Bed bath and beyond is so expensive. They should make their merchandise more affordable and watch sells go up

[HabibTheHeeb]

They're going out of business because they charge $10 for a soup spoon.

[gueeds]

The stores are way too cluttered. If they slim down what they offer and refresh the store designs, and probably use stores as online fulfillment to cut shipping costs, I think they can rebound like Best Buy did

[slab]

Oh my goodness have you seen the price of their sheets? Brutal

[vudoodaddie]

This business fail due to high prices.

[islandslimting]

I went in there, saw the prices and walked right out. Ridiculous prices.

[binzsta]

I went in there once and the prices was BEYOND I what I can afford. Never went back ever since

[SurrealKangaroo]

I love this store. I rarely buy anything, but it’s great for window shopping. So much to see.

[SapienSafari]

When Bed Bath and Beyond has that Clearance sale I will go back.

[SarahRayneDropz]

I've been once, SO EXPENSIVE, it was bed, bath and beyond me.

[LillyLavine]

I don't know why I'm watching this I've only ever been in a bed bath and beyond store twice.

[QuantumKitty]

I went in one last month and it was exhausting shopping in! It was huge it was cluttered, I didn’t know where anything was and the worst part it was extremely overpriced!
