Bed Bath and Beyond

Bed, Bath & Beyond partners with Kirkland's for East Coast small-format comeback stores before year's end. Home goods, mini-stores, curated selection.

Bed Bath and Beyond has announced this week that its Dartmouth store is among 87 locations that will be permanently closing nationwide — but some may not know that the home goods chain has deep New Bedford roots.

I'm happy that everybody's happy and that those evil blackface jack-o-lanterns can't hurt anyone else's feelings.
