I miss both stores, I shopped there quite a bit.

Like another poster I went into mourning when Pier 1 closed. I have lots of beautiful items purchased over the years. Right now I am looking at 2 white metal reindeer from Pier 1 on my mantle. In my sunroom I have a beautiful gold tone iron and glass bar cart. 

The Container Store is expensive and I can't see how BB&B would fit into this store. It's a shame that these B&M stores could not compete with online shopping. To me it's just not the same.

It's true @50Mickey where I would shop for home decor locally, now I shop on line for them.

Here's a head scratcher ........

We had a very beautiful BB&B here.  When it closed, they chained the access to the parking lot, left empty fixtures in place, and the lights are on every single night. 

Obviously, they could rent out the building ... IF some other retailer wants to try a B&M location, but so many have closed, that seems unlikely.

My best guess is they may occasionally be renting the location to film crews for shooting "retail scenes".  

What else could it be?

The BB&B close to me became a Barnes & Noble.

Container Store just filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 

Company says it will attempt to reorganize, but if Pier 1 and others couldn't succeed,  I don't see it happening.  Existing stores remain open as of now.
