On 3 January 2025, it was proposed that this article be moved from Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer) to Beyond, Inc.. The result of the discussion was moved.

where is the info from the Bed Bath Beyond article?

Overstock.com was operating before it bought Bed Bath Beyond assets om 6/23/2023: archive.ph//g60n2 I think that should be made clear.

There should be a paragraph further down the article that explains that. BBB was a successful company so to have that article page trashed I think is wrong. 2601:152:C00:67B0:6D0F:5BD:1CA6:E2B (talk) 09:54, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

I would be in favor of a separate article about the now closed former brick and mortar retailer BBB. I assume could be reconstructed from archives, perhaps as noted above. I SEE that there is a separate article differentiating the BBB "Inc" from BBB online. Does that already incorporate the archived material sufficiently? I agree the point of referring to that, perhaps in introductory materials. Csp-interest (talk) 14:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
I see these issues are largely already taken care of. How do I delete this comment? Csp-interest (talk) 14:23, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk pages

The articles titled Bed Bath & Beyond (aka Bed Bath & Beyond (big-box retailer)) and Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer) are about different companies, but Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer) redirects to here (Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond). I don't know the topic well enough to work out which comments on this talk page, and its archive, apply to which company. Please can a subject expert sort them out so each article has its own talk page as normal? Certes (talk) 22:47, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Sounds a bit like an attack but a deserved one at that. Don't know how that page got moved without the talk, same thing happened at Coup! around the same time (I can't possibly think of how I would've unchecked move associated talk, but I digress).
