    Founded in 1971, Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) was a small chain of stores; they sold bed linens and bath accessories in New York and New Jersey. After 14 years of sluggish performance, the company saw an opportunity for gaining competitive advantage by moving away from small specialty-store format to a superstore format. The superstore format allowed BBBY to do what other home retailers at the time could not do: offer a depth and breadth of domestic merchandise and home furnishings at everyday low prices. The success of the superstore format allowed BBBY to issue its IPO in June 1992. Since then, BBBY has continued to grow by opening new stores, expanding existing stores and adding additional square feet of retail space.

However a troubling reality is that over the past 4 years BBBY’s sustainable growth rate has been declining. BBBY is at an inflection point where the sustainable growth rate is not aligned with the growth strategy. It is our recommendation that BBBY improves their sustainable growth rate by increasing leverage in the near term while continuing to improve their asset turn ratio in the mid and long term.…
