Bed Bath & Beyond prepares to close three Fairfax County locations

Several Bed Bath & Beyond locations in Fairfax County will officially be put to bed before the summer.

The company’s locations in Mount Vernon, Fairfax, and Springfield are slated to close before the summer, according to store representatives.

Earlier this month, the company revealed a list of the 149 locations it plans close.

“We have been conducting a comprehensive, store-by-store analysis of our portfolio to ensure we can grow profitably while best serving our customers,” a company representative told FFXnow.

The locations in Mount Vernon (7690 Richmond Highway) and Fairfax (12100 Fairfax Towne Center) will close at the end of March, according to store representatives. Liquidation sales offering discounts of 10 to 30% off on all items in the stores are now underway.

A date for closing the Springfield location (6642 Loisdale Road) has not been determined yet.

The store in Bailey’s Crossroads will remain open. The home decor company also used to have a store in Tysons until it closed last February after just over a decade on Chain Bridge Road.

Overall, the company will slash the number of Bed Bath & Beyond stores by around 400. Other locations that are slated to close include Harrisonburg and Roanoke.

In an attempt to avert bankruptcy, Bed Bath and Beyond has reportedly raised $1 billion through offerings of preferred stocks and warrants to buy the company’s common stock, according to the Associated Press.
