The Loss of Buy Buy Baby Suggests Gains for Indie Retailers and Majors
August 7, 2023
The demise of Bed Bath & Beyond has raised questions about which retailers will benefit in the home products category.

Additionally, smaller local retailers are well-positioned to cater to first-time parents who prefer to shop in stores for a more personalized experience and product guidance.
