A Canadian home store brand is moving into former Bed Bath & Beyond locations and is opening in doors at three stores this month.

The move was announced earlier this year, and shoppers at the new Rooms + Spaces stores can buy kitchen gadgets, luxurious towels, and home decor. The store will stock items from brands such as Oxo, Homedics, Cuisinart, Martex, and more.

Next Saturday, August 19, the Rooms + Spaces in Vancouver at 1740 West Broadway is opening.

The Kelowna location at Orchard Plaza, 1540 Keehn Road and Victoria store at Mayfair, 775 Finlayson Street will open August 26.

A fourth Rooms + Spaces location was announced, but the grand opening date has yet to be confirmed.

Rooms + Spaces was created by Canadian entrepreneur Doug Putman, who has bought and transformed iconic brands globally, including Toys” R” Us and Babies” R” Us, and Sunrise Records in Canada.

More than 500 store associates have been hired across the 24 Rooms + Spaces stores across Canada, which accounts for more than 800,000 square feet of retail space.

“The opening of our 24 new Rooms + Spaces stores across the country shows the strength of Canadian-owned retail,” said Doug Putman in a news release. “We saw an opportunity in the market to create an enjoyable in-store shopping experience across the home goods category, and that is exactly what our new stores deliver.”

Ten other former Bed Bath & Beyond locations in BC, Alberta, and Ontario have been leased to Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC), which will transform the spaces into Mark’s and Pro Hockey Life stores.
