Rancho Santa Margarita's Bed Bath & Beyond Closes Along With 4 More California Storefronts

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — Three Orange County Bed Bath & Beyond stores will close permanently by February, the chain announced this week.

A list of 37 locations across the country was released on Thursday, as part of the home goods mega store's continued transformation toward e-commerce, according to CEO Mark Tritton. The mega home goods store is remodeling 450 stores across the country and is moving online for the others in an effort to compete with Amazon, according to an East Bay Times report. The growing number of stores to be shuttered has increased due to failure to reach favorable lease agreements with some of its landlords, according to previous reports.

In Rancho Santa Margarita, the store on El Paseo will be closed by the end of February and is currently offering liquidation sales.

• Laguna Niguel: 32391 Golden Lantern
• Rancho Santa Margarita: 22235 El Paseo
• Tustin: Tustin Market Place II, 13692 Jamboree Road

Elsewhere, in Northern California, two more Bed Bath & Beyond stores are closing by February:

• Campbell: Almarida Place, 515 East Hamilton Avenue
• Milpitas: 147 Great Mall Drive

The massive closures at Bed Bath & Beyond were announced in 2019, prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
