Amherst Bed, Bath & Beyond Store Closing

AMHERST, NH —The Amherst Bed, Bath & Beyond store in Amherst is one of two stores in the state that will be shutting its doors as the struggling housewares chain announced 150 more closures this week.

"Plans for current store fleet optimization program to be expanded to more than 400, including closure of an approximately 150 additional lower-producing Bed Bath & Beyond stores, which builds on closure of approximately 200 Bed Bath & Beyond stores," the company stated in a regulatory document filed on Monday.

The company also said in the filing that it had raised about $1 billion in a stock offering to prevent a bankruptcy filing.

The Amherst Bed, Bath & Beyond is located at 123 Route 101A #E. The other New Hampshire store which is closing its doors is located at 58 Plaistow Road in Plaistow.

After those stores close, New Hampshire will have six remaining Bed, Bath & Beyonds—in Bedford, Concord, Keene, Nashua, Portsmouth, and Salem.
