1755 Deptford Center Road
Welcome to the Deptford Bed Bath & Beyond!
Welcome back to The Retail Connection! This is the very first and very last Bed Bath & Beyond we'll be seeing on the blog. This is the Deptford location, which closes today, July 21. I visited it ten days prior, although it was pretty much empty already. Without further adieu, let's step inside and say goodbye to Bed Bath & Beyond.
The kitchen department is just ahead on the left wall when entering the store. This was definitely the most stocked area in the store, although most of the products aren't actually kitchen-related and would normally be elsewhere in the store.
Across the actionway are more kitchen products and store closing signs. I did look at some of the things they had for sale here, and the discounts weren't great. Maybe they got better as closing time got closer, but, like I said, I was here in the final ten days.
The middle of the store was entirely closed off with yellow tape. The remaining products were all moved to the front end.
The clearance area is all cleared out. Get it?
The sleep shop is next, past the clearance shelves. There's not much left, but at least what they do have is actually appropriate for a sleep shop.
The bath area is in the front left corner. Let's play things safe and not venture too close to the "Beyond" section...
Health and beauty is next, with some diaper bags that would make more sense at Buy Buy Baby next door.
A look down the front end, which is still mostly stocked with outdoor and summer items.
Some of the liquidation-related signs hanging in front of the registers. Apparently, they're still getting "new arrivals".
There were some good luck notes from customers hanging on the customer service desk. The employees here all seemed very nice, but I could tell they were sad.
I took a panoramic shot of the entire shopping center, which is obviously very unlucky. We have a closing Christmas Tree Shops, a closed Harmon Face Values, a closing Bed Bath & Beyond, and a closing Buy Buy Baby.
And, before we go, here's a picture of the Deptford Town Center pylon sign, which is soon to be totally empty once Christmas Tree Shops closes. CTS was formerly owned by Bed Bath & Beyond, so at one point every store in this plaza was owned by the same company.

The store closing signs were already up as of May.

Not much has changed since the store's opening.

I'm not sure if this shopping center was demolished and rebuilt or just expanded. Before the redevelopment, this center was home to a few vacant stores. The Halloween store on the end seems to be a former Frank's Nursery & Crafts.
It's sad to see Bed Bath & Beyond ride off into the sunset, and I wish all of its employees the best of luck. That's going to do it for today's post. Next week, we're headed into the First State to see some supermarkets you won't find in the Philadelphia area. See you then! The Retail Connection: Beyond any store of its kind.
