They call stores like Bed Bath and Beyond a "category killer" for a reason.

If a BBBY hits your mall, there's no point selling appliance / kitchen supplies there. You simply can't compete.

If your store is clean, reasonably well stocked, and has minimally competent sales staff, you might be preferable to a BBBy.

Today, sure.

But I'm talking about even in October 2022, just a few months ago. No one was going to open a bedding store when BBBY was within walking distance.

No, we're going to order from LL Bean. We gave up on BBY years ago, the service has sucked for a long time.

Does LL Bean sell frying pans now?
