Bed Bath & Beyond announced that its comeback will not include locations in the largest state in the nation. Marcus Lemonis, Bed Bath & Beyond Executive Chairman said in a statement issued Aug. 20 that the company will not open a brick-and-mortar location in California.

California's tough business environment makes it hard for retailers to survive, a top Bed Bath & Beyond executive said.

Bed Bath & Beyond is poised for a comeback, but don’t expect any new stores in California, the company announced Wednesday. Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis said the decision isn’t political — it’s a response to the state’s unfriendly business environment.
