The Container Store is continuing a nationwide overhaul of 98 stores, including five in New Jersey, as it prepares to integrate Bed Bath & Beyond products into its retail locations.
The company said the chainwide “Store Changing” event began April 24.
As part of the overhaul, The Container Store said it will liquidate about 30% of select categories and stock-keeping units to make room for new merchandise expected to arrive later this year.
In a process that began in May, stores are expected to transition over several months into a new “The Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond” format. The company said the redesigned stores will combine The Container Store’s organization products and in-home services with expanded home merchandise and offerings from Bed Bath & Beyond.
“This is a reset with purpose,” Jen Pape, senior vice president of stores at The Container Store, said in a statement. “We are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what’s next.”
The company said the rollout is part of Bed Bath & Beyond’s broader “Everything Home” strategy and reflects continued investment in The Container Store’s retail locations.
The redesigned New Jersey locations are Bound Brook, Cherry Hill, Livingston, Paramus and Princeton.
