California Gov. Gavin Newsoms (D) office knocked Bed Bath & Beyond on Wednesday after the company announced it wont open any new retail stores in the Golden State.
After their bankruptcy and closure of every store, like most Americans, we thought Bed, Bath & Beyond no longer existed, the California governors office posted on the social platform X.
We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again as they try to open a 2nd store, the account added.
Bed Bath & Beyond announced this week it wont open or operate any new stores in California, citing what it called an overregulated and risky environment for businesses.

I don't know if there is a market for Bed Bath and Beyond to return.
I used to like shopping their kitchen gadgets section. You could always find things you couldn't find anywhere else. I bought my first air fryer there, long before they were available everywhere. There are so many other options for home goods, at least here in GA - I don't know how well they would do now.
And especially knowing the CEO is an ass who does not want to pay a livable wage will not help sales.
