Bed Bath & Beyond is trying to focus on their main business, so they’ve decided to sell off one of their other retail chains — Cost Plus World Market.

This comes after Bed Bath & Beyond announced some store closures after facing financial difficulties due to COVID-19.

Apparently the sale of World Market is going to be finalized in February 2021. And between now and then, you’ll want to make some moves.

Here’s what you need to know:

 

Use Bed Bath & Beyond gift cards at World Market ASAP.

For years, customers have been able to use Bed Bath & Beyond gift cards at World Market, and vice versa, since they have been sister companies.

That’s likely to end in February when the two companies are split up.
