ABed Bath & Beyond today announced the launch of the Home, Happier Team, the retailer’s first-ever curated advisory panel of industry experts who will serve as “host and hostesses of the home,” providing ideas, innovative solutions and compelling content to help customers personalize their living spaces and make it easy to feel at home.  Created to inspire customers to “home, happier,” Bed Bath & Beyond’s Home, Happier Team members include culinary personality Katie Lee Biegel, interior designer Jeremiah Brent, storage and organization expert Eryn Donaldson and sleep wellness specialist Dr. Shelby Harris.

The Home, Happier Team members will make their debut at Bed Bath & Beyond’s newly redesigned flagship store on 6th Avenue in New York City on October 2 during the Company’s week-long Open House event, where they will share their expert advice with customers on how to “home, happier” in each room. The team members’ galvanizing tips and tricks will also be made available to all customers across Bed Bath & Beyond’s social platforms, in addition to future content at pivotal seasonal shopping moments. Running from September 27-October 3 in stores across the country, the Open House events will invite customers to check out exclusive deals, a new family of Private Brands, better in-store shopping experiences with improved store layouts and in-store digital shopping tools through Bed Bath & Beyond mobile app, as well as learn about the array of omnichannel services, including Buy Online Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS), Contactless Curbside Pickup, and Same-Day Delivery services.

“Last year, we announced a comprehensive three-year transformation plan to elevate our shopping experience for consumers, modernize our operations both in-store and online, and rebuild our authority in the $180 billion home market,” said Mark Tritton, President and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond. “With the addition of the Home, Happier Team, we are staying true to our promise to bring new dimensions to our brand experience and customer offerings. The Home, Happier Team will deepen our relevance and connection with customers and help inspire them to unlock the magic in every room. We are excited to welcome Katie, Jeremiah, Eryn and Dr. Harris to the Bed Bath & Beyond family.”

“I’m so excited to be joining the Bed Bath & Beyond family,” said Home, Happier Culinary Expert Katie Lee Biegel. “Their kitchen section has all my favorite finds to make delicious recipes at home.” Home, Happier Interior Design expert Jeremiah Brent shared, “It has been one of my ‘go-to’ destinations for design, and over the years, I have gone countless times to grab affordable, high-quality items for my clients. There is something for everyone’s style.”

The launch of the collective team follows the announcement earlier this year of Bed Bath & Beyond’s new “home, happier” brand campaign, a reflection of everything the Company stands for in its relationship with customers’ homes. The campaign is a critical part of the brand’s transformative journey and reinvents the business around its customers, people, and communities to help people realize the potential of every room. As the country’s premier home brand for 50 years, Bed Bath & Beyond is rapidly enhancing its customer experience by already launching six Owned Brands as a part of its biggest product assortment change in a generation, strengthening Buy Online Pickup in Store or Curbside and Same Day Delivery to get purchases in the hands of customers even faster, introducing an ESG strategy to support people, communities, and the planet, launching a $250 million three-year project to remodel approximately 450 stores and, now, debuting the Home, Happier Team to inspire customers.
