Bed Bath & Beyond To Close South Bay Store

LOS ANGELES, CA — Bed Bath & Beyond is closing nine more stores in California, including one in the South Bay as the struggling retailer fights for survival. Altogether, six stores in Los Angeles County are now slated for closure.

The retail chain announced the closure of another 150 stores nationwide Wednesday in an attempt to avoid bankruptcy. In Los Angeles County, stores in Culver City, Downey, Glendora, Hawthorne, Pasadena and Los Angeles are slated for closure.
