Kirkland’s Home is closing dozens of stores in new rebrand, adding to list of retailers shutting locations in 2025

Dozens of Kirkland’s Home stores will close as part of the retailer’s recently announced rebranding efforts. Some existing stores will be converted to Bed Bath & Beyond Home stores as part of the transformation, the company said this week.

Kirkland’s will streamline its footprint by closing at least two dozen of its 313 existing Kirkland’s Home stores.

The company will launch its first Bed Bath & Beyond Home store in Brentwood, Tennessee, in August 2025, with five stores to follow. Pending the initial market launch, the retailer intends to open approximately 75 additional stores through 2026.

The Tennessee-based retailer also plans to open its first physical Overstock store location in Nashville, with about 30 additional stores to open after the initial launch. These plans align with Kirkland’s broader goal to be a multi-brand retail operator.

“By consolidating real estate and leveraging underperforming store closures to reduce excess inventory, we believe we will drive faster inventory turn and maximize return on assets,” the retailer said in a press release. “Following the consolidation, we expect to move forward with approximately 290 of our current store locations as the foundational footprint for Kirkland’s Home, Bed Bath & Beyond Home, and Overstock.”

Fast Company contacted the brand to request a list of locations that will close. We will update this story if we receive a reply.

Kirkland’s Home rebrand reflects a broader transformation

Kirkland’s corporate name will officially change to The Brand House Collective pending shareholder approval at the company’s next annual meeting on July 24, 2025. Its ticker symbol will also change from “KIRK” to “TBHC,” pending approval next month.

Kirkland’s CEO, Amy Sullivan, explained the intention behind the rebrand in the company news release: “We’re aligning our identity with our vision to become a multi-brand merchandising, supply chain and retail operator—and backing it with decisive actions to strengthen our foundation: reducing excess inventory, closing underperforming locations, optimizing real estate assets, and enhancing talent across the organization.”

Amy Sullivan will lead as the CEO and chief merchant and creative officer of The Brand House Collective. The company announced the following additions to its corporate team:

• Chief Operating Officer Jamie Schisler will oversee operations.
• VP General Merchandising Manager of Bed Bath & Beyond Home Kerri Dlugokinski will lead all merchandising efforts.
• VP of Supply Chain Courtenay Adolf is responsible for global sourcing, transportation, and distribution centers.

The retailer also announced changes to its board of directors. Effective June 24, 2025, appointees Eric Schwartzman, Neely Tamminga, Tamara Ward, and Steve Woodward will serve as board members.

In October 2024, Kirkland’s announced a strategic partnership with Beyond, Inc., which owns brands Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, and buybuy Baby.
