The Container Store announced the launch of a chainwide “Store Changing” event beginning Friday, April 24, as 98 stores nationwide begin resetting selling floors to prepare for the phased integration of Bed Bath & Beyond products.
As part of the reset, the Company will liquidate approximately 30% of select categories and SKUs beginning Friday to streamline assortments, improve space productivity and create room for new products expected to arrive in phases later this year. The initiative is a planned step in reimagining the combined in-store experience.
“This is a reset with purpose,” said Jen Pape, Senior Vice President of Stores at The Container Store. “We are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what’s next. By streamlining select categories today, we’re creating the space and flexibility needed to introduce Bed Bath & Beyond products and deliver a more complete home experience for our customers.”
The Store Changing event begins Friday, April 24, across all locations and online at containerstore.com. For a limited time, customers can shop meaningful price reductions across a broad range of merchandise as stores progress through their reset process. Additionally, stores will open one hour early on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, to reward early bird shoppers with an additional 5% discount.
Beginning in May, the identified locations are expected to transition over the following months to The Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond format, representing the Company’s future operating model. The reimagined stores will combine The Container Store’s organizing solutions, in-home services and expertise with an expanded home assortment and complementary offerings from Bed Bath & Beyond.
The future Valley locations of The Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond include stores in Glendale at 7580 W. Bell Road and in Phoenix at 4949 N. 20th Street and 18550 N. Scottsdale Road.
The rollout reflects The Container Store’s continued investment in its store fleet and advances Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc.’s broader Everything Home strategy, bringing together organization, furnishings, essentials, services and solutions in one destination designed to better serve how customers live today.
