Stores posted several bright-yellow "store closing" signs advertising sales from 75 to 90 percent off.

All sales are final, and the company no longer accepts its formerly iconic 20-percent-off coupons.

"We encourage customers to shop with us while inventory remains and appreciate their longstanding support and trust in us through their most important life moments for more than 50 years," the company said in a statement to The U.S. Sun.

Customers should expect slim pickings in stores; liquidation sales have been ongoing for months.

BED BATH AND BEYOND'S JOURNEY TO CLOSURE

Bed Bath & Beyond declared bankruptcy in April.

The company aimed to close all of its stores by the end of June unless a buyer took over the stores, according to the Chapter 11 filing.

After months of negotiations, Bed Bath & Beyond didn't find a buyer for its stores, leading to the shuttering of both store brands.

While both brands are shuttering their stores, their name brands will live on.

BOTH BRANDS LIVE ON

Overstock.com purchased the intellectual property rights to Bed Bath & Beyond - the company currently known as Overstock will become Bed Bath & Beyond.

"Bed Bath & Beyond is an iconic consumer brand, well-known in the home retail marketplace," Overstock CEO Jonathan Johnson said in a statement, per CNBC.

"The combination of our winning asset-light business model and the high awareness and loyalty of the Bed Bath & Beyond brand will improve the customer experience and position the Company for accelerated market share growth."

Buybuy Baby's IP was sold to Dream on Me Industries for $15.5million.

Dream on Me is a New Jersey-based baby products supplier that sold products to buybuy Baby.
