If Bed Bath & Beyond goes out of business, here's what may happen to its rivals [View all]

A Bed Bath & Bust scenario could bring some short-term financial pain to rival home furnishings retailers amid aggressive going-out-of-business clearance sales nationwide, one expert warned.

"In the short-term, the liquidation [would be] a little tough on J.C. Penney, Kohl's, Target, Walmart, Wayfair and maybe Container Store — and to some extent maybe Macy's — because somebody like [liquidator] Gordon Brothers will be running a really aggressive liquidation sale," retail expert Jan Rogers Kniffen told Yahoo Finance.

The potential for Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) to go bust in 2023 is looking high.

Current share price $1.31. I recall $80, as well as previous earnings shortfalls that had wags on CNBC calling the company "Blood, Bath, and Beyond."

I never liked the store. I found them claustrophobic. No matter what you looked at required an employee to fetch it.
