“I had a great experience at The Fernery (new store by Design Menagerie). I was just poking my head in, having resolved to buy nothing further on this particular trip. But Mary gave me such a warm hello, I just had to go in and then I was enchanted with the quality of the clothing. Oh myyy. Needless to say, thanks to Mary (and a lovely assistant whose name I don't recall, so embarrassing because she was great too!) I wound up spending far more than the nothing I had budgeted. I just adore my new clothes and new shoes and new hat. But most of all (photo credit, Mary) just LOOK at these PJs! From Italy. So soft and darling! After the sale, I realized they (totally inadvertently) put a different pair of PJs in my bag. But now I was home and three hours away. Cristal was so patient with me and nonjudgmental that I wanted ONLY those I tried on (the hanging up pair) not a fresh crips pair in the cloth envelope from Italy. She stuck with me until the exchange was completed, and I'm so grateful because I even thought (which could have been taken the wrong way by Cristal, but wasn't!) that they sent the wrong PJs. Go visit their stores. Such great stuff! Everything is final sale. I see people grumbling about this, but thinking from the perspective of their owner, I can only imagine impulse purchases, mind-changing and how rather than this being a negative, it really means to be thoughtful about what you buy. Which we consumers need to get into the habit of doing anyway. All in all, a 10 out of 10 experience.”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.

The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
