Bed Bath & Beyond has entered into a definitive merger agreement to buy The Container Store<\/a> in a transaction valued at $150 million. In a regulatory filing, the retailer said its newly created subsidiary, Falcon Merger Sub, will be merged into The Container Store, leaving the latter as a wholly owned unit of Bed Bath & Beyond.<\/p>\n

In a letter to shareholders, CEO Marcus Lemonis said The Container Store’s more than 100 locations would be rebranded “The Container Store \/ Bed Bath and Beyond,” and that the combined business intends to broaden product range and home services as it develops what he described as an “Everything Home” ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Total Retail’s Take:<\/strong> This decision is more than a transaction for Bed Bath & Beyond; it’s a business model shift. BB&B is strengthening its position in the home market, expanding beyond just selling products into services and solutions. Furthermore, the deal signals the next step in BB&B’s efforts to diversify its portfolio, which now include retail (Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock), specialty (The Container Store), and services (Closet Works, Elfa).<\/p>\n

The addition of The Container Store gets BB&B more deeply into the physical retail market, picking up 100-plus store locations in this transaction. That will mean greater exposure to consumers and the ability to acquire new customers and better serve existing customers through a growing physical footprint.<\/p>\n

Lasty, Lemonis pointed to the cost savings and efficiencies that BB&B will benefit from as its brings another retail brand into the portfolio, citing at least $40 million of annualized cost savings and productivity efficiencies within 12 months to 18 months by fully integrating Kirkland’s, The Container Store, Elfa and Closet Works, and Bed Bath & Beyond into a single business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
