I wasn’t surprised that Bed Bath & Beyond filed for bankruptcy this week. Between the death of department stores and malls thanks to a combination of the Internet and private equity, the days were numbered.
It didn’t help that the store wasn’t a particularly great destination for the bedroom, bathroom or beyond. I’d go there from time to time looking for something specific and it was always a let down.
I figure if they had the ability to pivot and just sell all the stuff from Instagram ads they’d be able to exist for a few more years.
