Nearest bed bath & beyond to my location

MILFORD — The Bed, Bath & Beyond store on Fortune Boulevard is among the 150 in the chain that will be closing, the company confirmed in a press release. 

The Union, New Jersey-based retailer did not provide a firm closing date for the Milford store, nor did it say how many employees would be affected. The 230 Fortune Blvd. location is one of three Massachusetts stores targeted for closure; the others are in Seekonk and Boston.

Bed, Bath & Beyond originally announced on Aug. 31 that it would be closing 150 underperforming stores and cutting its workforce by 20%. Last week it revealed which stores would be affected. 

In a statement, Bed, Bath & Beyond Director and interim Chief Executive Officer Sue Grove said the moves are aimed at streamlining the profitable sections of the company's portfolio.

"We believe these changes will have a widespread positive impact across customer experience, inventory assortment, supply chain execution and cost structure," she said. "The customer underpins our decisions, and we are committed to delivering what they want while driving growth, profitability, and financial returns."

A call placed Monday morning seeking comment from the Milford store was not returned. 

Bed, Bath & Beyond sells bed linens, bath items and kitchen textiles. It also sells home furnishings, such as kitchen and tabletop items, basic housewares, consumables and various juvenile products. 

The company has stores in all 50 states, as well as in Washington, D.C., Canada and Puerto Rico. It has about 32,000 full-time employees. 

But like many brick-and-mortar retailers, Bed, Bath & Beyond has struggled during the pandemic. Over the past two years the company has shuttered about 35% of its stores, going from 1,478 locations in 2020, to 955 currently.

Shares of Bed, Bath & Beyond closed las Friday at $8.02, down more than three-quarters from their $35 per share price in January 2021. 

The company said that it is still searching for a permanent CEO, after it fired former CEO Mark Tritton in June.

Once the Milford store closes, the nearest Bed, Bath & Beyond locations for local residents will be in Hudson or Foxborough, both about 25 to 30 minutes away.
