Bed Bath & Beyond bought Buy Buy Baby...
I can't find the article right now but my boss told me that they were in debt and Bed Bath & Beyond is going to turn Buy Buy Baby into a place excepting more coupons, sales, etc.

I'm not suprised. Buy Buy Baby was started by someone related to Bed Bath and Beyond.

Re: Bed Bath & Beyond bought Buy Buy Baby...
Really, if so...that is good news!
They accept BRU coupons so they werent that bad.
But any bit helps.

Re: Bed Bath & Beyond bought Buy Buy Baby...
Sounds like a good thing. Maybe they'll open more stores now! I wish we had BBB up here in CT, all we have are high end over priced boutiques/stores and BRU.
ETA: BBB's website def needs an overhaul! It stinks!

Re: Bed Bath & Beyond bought Buy Buy Baby...
Really I thought they already owned them...this may mean more coupons but a worse return policy
Found it.. his sons owned it that is why they are buying it
Bed Bath & Beyond buys buybuyBABY from Sons Feinstein
By Staff
Home Textiles Today -- 3/22/2007 2:33:00 PM
Union, N.J. – Adding to its expanding retail portfolio, Bed Bath & Beyond has acquired buybuyBABY, an eight-store infants products chain founded by Richard and Jeffrey Feinstein, sons of Bed Bath & Beyond co-founder and co-chairman Leonard Feinstein.
The superstore retailer said it paid about $67 million in cash, in addition to paying about $19 million to erase debt, to buy the buybuyBaby chain based in Garden City, N.Y.
The buybuyBABY stores range in size from 28,000 to 60,000 square feet and offer a broad assortment of infant and toddler merchandise in bed and bath, furniture, car seats, strollers, feeding toys, clothing, and learning products.
Steven Temares, Bed Bath & Beyond ceo, said, "We believe the addition of buybuyBABY to our Bed Bath & Beyond, Christmas Tree Shops, and Harmon Stores concepts is an excellent strategic fit, which will strengthen our company and permit us to satisfy our customers in new ways." Temares added, "We believe this category of business has tremendous growth potential."
The chain was founded in 1996 by the Feinstein brothers, both of whom had previously worked at Bed Bath & Beyond. The two will remain with buybuyBaby and continue to run its operations.

Re: Bed Bath & Beyond bought Buy Buy Baby...
I always used to think when people said BBB, they were referring to Bed Bath and Beyond - until I became pregnant - then I cought on. It is funny that now they will merge after I have straightened it out!

Yeah, I already thought they were the same company...they seemed quite similar style stores down to the decor and the coupons.
