Nestwell, an in-house line of bedding and bathroom accessories, was launched earlier this month. It is the first of at least 10 own brands that the company is expected to launch over the next two years.
Bed Bath stocks are up nearly 65% since the start of the year. The company has a market capitalization of $ 3.55 billion.
