Bed, Bath & Beyond will close at least one Charlotte store as partial list released

At least one Charlotte-area Bed, Bath & Beyond store will be closing as the home goods retailer plans to shutter 150 stores nationwide.

Bed, Bath & Beyond will close The Arboretum location at 3413 Pineville-Matthews Road in south Charlotte, according to a company list released Thursday.

It’s unclear when the store will close. Bed, Bath & Beyond officials did not immediately respond for comment Friday.

The list of 56 stores is just more than a third of the stores Bed Bath & Beyond plans to close. In all, the company expects to shutter about 150 stores in the U.S. and cut its workforce by 20% over the next several months.
