Bed Bath & Beyond just reignited controversy in California. Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis says the company won’t open stores in the state, blaming ā€œhigh taxes, high fees, and unsustainable wages.ā€ Governor Gavin Newsom fired back, pointing out the retailer’s bankruptcy and nationwide closures in 2023. Now rebranded under Beyond Inc. (BYON), the company is planning a name change back to Bed Bath & Beyond with ticker BBBY later this month. Shares closed at $8.90, down 4.40%—but remain up more than 58% this year.
