Beyond rebranded earlier this year as part of a strategy to position itself as a broader home and lifestyle retail company. The retailer has since relaunched Bed Bath &amp; Beyond online and announced plans to expand its physical footprint by turning to franchising as a capital-efficient growth model.Under the new system, franchisees will operate branded stores while benefiting from corporate’s supply chain, technology and marketing infrastructure.

In August, Beyond purchased Kirkland’s Home, a 300-unit specialty retailer, with the goal of combining its footprint with Bed Bath &amp; Beyond to accelerate omnichannel growth. Together, the moves signal an aggressive attempt to regain relevance in the competitive home goods sector and potentially set a model for how other legacy retailers might use franchising to reinvent themselves.Read the original press release&nbsp;<a href="https://investors.beyond.com/news-events/press-releases/news-details/2025/Bed-Bath--Beyond-Launches-Nationwide-Franchise-System-Expanding-Its-Everything-Home-Mission-to-Local-Communities/default.aspx?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=bed-bath-beyond-franchise-expansion-retail-strategy-2730467" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.For more recent news about the franchise industry, check out these articles on 1851 Franchise:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/senior-entrepreneurship-franchising-silver-startups-2730449#franchise-news">Senior Entrepreneurship Is Rising — And Franchising Is a Key Outlet</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/government-shutdown-impacts-sba-loans-tourism-franchises-2730412#franchise-news">Government Shutdown Stalls SBA Loans: How the Shutdown Could Impact Franchises</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/subway-franchisees-resist-expensive-remodel-directives-2730349#franchise-news">Subway Franchisees Resist Expensive Remodel Directives</a></li></ul>
