Filling up the 900 shuttered Bed, Bath and Beyond stores will take some time. One retailer is doing its best to fill the void. Bob’s Discount Furniture will open a store this summer in Winston-Salem at 1020 Hanes Mall Boulevard. The Triad Business Journal reports Bob’s signed a 10-year lease earlier this month for 37,340 square feet in Hanes Point Shopping Center. The company will spend $500,000 on the renovations.

The retailer will also open five other North Carolina locations in former Bed Bath & Beyond stores in Durham, Cary, Fayetteville, Wilmington and Jacksonville.

The stores in North Carolina will be serviced by Bob’s existing distribution center infrastructure and third-party delivery relationships. Bob’s Discount Furniture has just under 200 stores across the nation, concentrated in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and West Coast regions. The closest store to North Carolina is in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Anthony Lawrence-Belfair, a furniture company specializing in the manufacturing, distribution, repair and restoration of furniture and home goods, signed a long-term lease for 25,214 square feet of warehouse space and 19,312 square feet of land at Simone Development Companies’ 1200 Zerega Ave. in the Bronx. The new space will serve as a showroom and studio, supporting the company’s relocation from Long Island City.

Simone Development was represented by in-house leasing and legal teams alongside Mat Diana of DY Realty, while Anthony Lawrence-Belfair was represented by Helen Paul of Cushman & Wakefield and Joseph Caputo of Exit Realty Premier.

“With its strategic location, ample outdoor storage options, and flexible space configurations, 1200 Zerega Ave. is an ideal fit for companies like Anthony Lawrence-Belfair,” said Josh Gopan, VP of leasing for Simone Development.

The lease secured the final warehouse and ground-floor space offered at 1200 Zerega Ave. The property has a remaining 12,891 square feet of office space available on the second floor.
