I never used Bed Bath and Beyond. I usually get routine kitchen and bathroom stuff at Rainbow/Ace hardware on 1st and 76th or rarely Sur la table on 3rd for the hard to find cooking items. Sadly our go-to linens place closed (Laytner’s on 86th) recently but I think Rainbow can pick up the slack (we’re not terribly picky). There was also a nifty kitchen supply store across from Rainbow that closed but that was a couple years ago.
I echo these sentiments. And all the people who go to the bricks and mortar stores to look at the merchandise and then buy it online, shame on you. That store in the neighborhood provided a service that you stole. Seeing and touching the merchandise. If you use the service, you should buy the product.
I bet that's only a small percentage of people. Brick-and-mortar retail stores are dying because online shopping is more convenient.
Lol ,love it when people say "I don't/didn't shop there often but was surprised to hear...."
Intentionally or not, every time you buy something online you are voting with your wallet. Elections have consequences.

I meant I don't shop at THAT location a lot. I shop at bed bath and beyond frequently, and I mentioned which location in my post. So please go blame someone else for brick and motors closing.

Or Maybe B&M companies should be more mindful on how many stores they need in 1 borough. They have 6 in Manhattan alone. 2 in the UWS.
In regards to the below, this is where B&M stores need to become more creative as a consumer is now more savvy in regards to making the final purchase.

The one on 125st, Lincoln center and 6ave are the only 3 I go to. However the few times I did step inside the east side one it was ok. I feel bad for the workers.
I don’t have any sympathy for chain stores that close
