Bed Bath & Beyond on Monday (Jan. 5) named Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis — who retired at the end of 2025 as the CEO of Camping World Holdings Inc. — as its new chief executive, according to a report by Fox Business and multiple other news outlets.
In a letter to shareholders on Monday, Lemonis, who will continue serving as executive chairman, outlined plans to help the company cut costs and pursue expansion opportunities, including acquisitions.
“I have always felt that home ownership is a bedrock of the American Dream. Whether someone is renting their first apartment, living in student housing, buying their first home, or settling into a forever home, we want Bed Bath & Beyond to be associated with making those journeys more achievable, more affordable, and less overwhelming,” Lemonis said.
The company owns Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, buybuy Baby and Kirkland’s Home, as well as other related brands and websites and a blockchain asset portfolio inclusive of tZERO, GrainChain and other assets.
Lemonis said that its core business is stabilized, and he is now laying out plans to help return Bed Bath & Beyond, once a leading home-goods retailer, to profitable growth.
This includes prioritizing an omnichannel retail model and boosting the number of its revenue streams. For instance, Lemonis said he plans to expand beyond just selling household goods to include high-margin services like warranties, insurance products and financing tools.
