Bed Bath & Beyond will once again have a brick-and-mortar retail presence in Omaha by combining with The Container Store at Westroads Mall.
The Container Store, which has been a junior anchor at Westroads for nine years, is clearing out 30 percent of its existing inventory to make room for Bed Bath & Beyond merchandise, which is expected to arrive in the store early this summer.
To liquidate existing merchandise, The Container Store is advertising a “STORE CHANGING” sale, offering discounts and declaring that “almost” everything must go.
Bed, Bath & Beyond filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 and closed all its brick-and-mortar stores, including local stores at Village Pointe and at The Shoppes of Aksarben southeast of 72nd & Pacific Street. The retailer was known for selling home goods especially kitchenware and bedding.
Though Bed Bath & Beyond closed its physical locations, the brand never truly went away. Its intellectual property was purchased by Overstock.com, which is now known as Beyond, Inc. The parent company continued to sell Bed Bath & Beyond merchandise through an ecommerce platform. In 2025, the parent company opened a Bed Bath & Beyond come-back store in Tennessee.
Now the company has purchased The Container Store and is transitioning 98 locations to the combined-store concept to be known as The Container Store + Bed Bath & Beyond. The Omaha storefront will have both logos on its exterior signage.
In addition to Omaha, other regional markets to get the combined stores include Denver; West Des Moines, Iowa; Overland Park, Kan.; Edina, Minn.; St. Louis; Oklahoma City; and Chicago.
The Container Store just recently exercised an option to renew its lease at Westroads. Because Bed Bath & Beyond inventory will fit into the existing store, no significant interior construction work will be necessary.
