Is Bed Bath & Beyond Planning a Texas Comeback?

There is no word yet on where future stores will open; however, I believe that Texas is a perfect state for the resurgence of Bed Bath & Beyond.

Texas also has plenty of space, especially in the type of mid-size markets/ towns this model would likely thrive in. Tennessee was a good choice for an inaugural comeback store, but BB&B should certainly look to the Lone Star State when it begins expanding.
