Looks like the same group behind salvaging HMV, ToysRUs and David's Tea are looking at the Bed Bath and Beyond locations.
New Canadian retail chain set to launch from ashes of former Bed Bath & Beyond locations
Quote:
Putman, who has made similar moves when HMV, Toys 'R' Us and DavidsTea went insolvent, plans to open the home store brand in 21 former locations of Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY storefronts later this summer.

The article lists the locations for the first 21 Rooms + Spaces stores. Mostly in Ontario of course, with most of the rest in Alberta and BC. Only 1 east of Ontario, in St John's.
Here in New Brunswick, I think that just leaves the Fredericton store still up in the air. We aren't on the Canadian Tire list nor the Rooms + list. The Moncton location is apparently rented out and being renovated for another business, but there's no word yet on the Freddy spot. (We're still hopeful for Jysk I think, since Jysk is going into Saint John)
