Empty Bed Bath & Beyond stores to be filled quickly after closures.
Bed Bath & Beyond is closing 400 stores, but other retailers and gyms are eager to take over the spaces due to the scarcity of retail real estate. Chains like TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Ross, Burlington, Five Below, Nordstrom Rack, and Planet Fitness are among those interested in the locations. The majority of Bed Bath & Beyond stores are in population-dense areas in California, Texas, New Jersey, and Florida, making them attractive to prospective tenants. The company's stores are also under 50,000 square feet, which is a desirable quality in retail as brands trend toward smaller spaces to save on rent and other overhead.
