Bed Bath & Beyond Rehires Chief of Stores

Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (Murray Utah) and The Brand House Collective Inc. (Nashville) announced that Glen Cary has been rehired as Chief of Stores for Bed Bath & Beyond and its family of brands. Cary had served in that role until earlier this year, when he left to form a consultancy.

Cary is returning to a company that recently unveiled plans to acquire The Brand House Collective (formerly Kirkland’s Home) for $26.8 million. That deal, which the participants say is designed to create an “everything home” enterprise under the BB&B brand, is expected to close in the first quarter of next year.

“Glen is in lock step with the expectations we are setting for Bed Bath & Beyond and understands how operating great stores requires the highest standard of experience for both the employee and the customer,” said Marcus Lemonis, that brand’s Executive Chairman. “His experience will drive a capital efficient modernization of our fleet, strengthen operational discipline, and support all phases of growth across stores, digital and franchise together.”

Said Cary: “I’m excited to come home. Our focus is simple—deliver an exceptional in‑store experience, strengthen consistency, and ensure our stores operate as a powerful engine of growth and contribution.”

The companies currently operate 300-plus stores across 35 states.
