Stores Closing- Layoffs Looming For Well Known Retailer

Bed Bath & Beyond says it's closing about 150 stores and laying off 20-percent of its workforce.

The struggling retailer said today that it has secured 500-million dollars in new financing as it seeks to boost its cash reserves ahead of the holiday shopping season.

The Wall Street Journal says comparable sales at Bed Bath & Beyond tumbled 27 percent in the quarter that ended on August 27th.

No details have been released on whether any stores in Rhode Island, Massachusetts or Connecticut are affected.
