Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is one of the largest home furnishing specialty stores in the United States. The company operates a chain of approximately 61 stores that sell such domestic merchandise as bed linens, bath accessories, cookware, dinnerware, kitchen utensils, and small electric appliances. Throughout the company’s short history, bigger has proven to be better. In the mid-1980s, Bed Bath & Beyond was a pioneer in the concept of superstores: large, well-stocked specialty shops with prices allegedly comparable to, or lower than, department store sale prices. Some Bed Bath & Beyond stores have over 80,000 square feet of selling floor and offer more than 300,000 different items, stacked literally from floor to ceiling. The company expanded rapidly in the early 1990s on the strength of the superstore concept. It doubled the number of stores under the Bed Bath & Beyond banner and tripled annual sales to $306 million by 1993. More than 60 Bed Bath & Beyond stores were located in 16 states
