Bed Bath & Beyond has signed a definitive merger agreement to purchase US-based specialty retail chain The Container Store in a transaction valued at $150 million.
In a regulatory filing, the retailer said its newly created subsidiary, Falcon Merger Sub, will merge with The Container Store, leaving the latter a wholly owned unit of Bed Bath & Beyond.
The companies expect the deal to be completed as of July 1, 2026, subject to standard closing requirements and creditor approvals.
Bed Bath & Beyond said the consideration will be largely through its common stock and convertible senior notes.
It plans to issue at least $54 million in senior convertible notes, and the amount is subject to adjustments tied to certain loan payments.
Shares issued as part of the deal will be calculated using a reference price of $7.
The company also outlined leadership changes related to the acquisition.
Container Store CFO Brian LaRose will take over as Bed Bath & Beyond CFO effective April 28.
In a letter to shareholders, CEO Marcus Lemonis said The Container Store’s more than 100 locations would be renamed “The Container Store/Bed Bath and Beyond” and that the combined business aims to expand the range of home products and services as it develops what he described as an “Everything Home” ecosystem.
“With an average floor space of approximately 21,000 square feet per store, these locations will feature a mix of products ranging from bedding, bath, storage and organization, kitchen and entertainment. More importantly, they will significantly expand their current home services offerings,” Lemonis added.
