Bed Bath & Beyond Plans to Have 50% of Its Store Base Open by Mid-June

Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) is getting ready to welcome guests back to its stores. On Friday, the specialty retailer announced its plans for reopening in the coming weeks after most of its locations closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
