Iconic home goods retailer's closed store teases shoppers with false hope nearly three months after
A BIG box retailer has left shoppers with false hope after it shuttered its doors for good.
The Bed Bath & Beyond store in Mays Landing, New Jersey closed its doors in March.
However, a poorly placed sign left fans hoping that it would be reopening.
Just before the closure, the store underwent remodeling and these new fixtures and improvements were advertised with large banners.
In the weeks leading up to its inevitable closure, the store held liquidation sales but the banners announcing the new remodeling were not removed.
This meant that the front of the store seemed to encourage shoppers to be excited about the closure.

It also told some people that while the improvements promised a "better shopping" experience, they in fact did not.
The first sign placed ahead of the remodeling said: "Big changes and better shopping come in and see."
The liquidation sign across the door then added: "Store closing."
While the yellow closure sign has since been removed, the "big changes and better shopping" notice is still there.
