Bed Bath & Beyond (Union, NJ) is receiving interest from prospective buyers for its BuyBuy Baby business, according to anonymous sources who spoke with The Wall Street Journal.

The baby-gear brand is reportedly in the crosshairs of Cerberus Capital Management, a private equity firm that’s active in the retail industry, and Tailwind Acquisition, which is chaired by former Casper Sleep CEO Philip Krim.

The report comes after Bed Bath & Beyond reached a settlement with activist investor Ryan Cohen, who suggested a spin off of BuyBuy Baby to pay debt and buy back shares, Retail Dive writes.

Bed Bath & Beyond has been showing signs of decline, The Street writes, noting that the retailer failed to beat earnings estimates in any quarter last year.

BuyBuy Baby, meanwhile, has momentum. With sales jumping by double digits in 2021, the brand is charting 25 new store openings this year.
