Kirkland’s Home

Kirkland’s Home is a long-standing specialty retailer focused on home décor, furniture, and accessories, with a reputation for accessible prices and a broad mix of seasonal and everyday merchandise. The company began in 1966, when it opened its first store in Jackson, Tennessee, offering affordable home furnishings to local shoppers. Over the following decades, Kirkland’s Home expanded beyond its roots in the Southeast, growing into a national chain and becoming a familiar presence in suburban shopping centers and lifestyle centers, particularly across the Southeast, Midwest, and Sunbelt regions.

As of November 2025, Kirkland’s Home operates approximately 250 stores nationwide. These locations are typically found in high-traffic retail corridors and have been known for their inviting, treasure-hunt shopping experience, with frequent product refreshes and a mix of private-label and branded merchandise. The brand has consistently drawn middle-income households seeking stylish, affordable décor, and its real estate footprint has made it a recognizable anchor or junior anchor in many open-air centers.

A significant milestone occurred in September 2025, when Beyond, Inc.—the parent company of Bed Bath & Beyond—acquired Kirkland’s Home’s intellectual property and select assets. This acquisition marked the beginning of a major transition for the brand. Most Kirkland’s Home stores are now being converted to Bed Bath & Beyond Home locations over a two-year period, with some closures resulting from lease expirations. The company’s headquarters remain in Brentwood, Tennessee, but real estate decisions and contacts are now managed primarily at the parent company level.

Over the last five years, Kirkland’s Home has navigated a period of contraction and strategic change, culminating in its integration into the Bed Bath & Beyond portfolio. While the Kirkland’s banner is not expanding and no new store openings are planned under its name, the brand’s established footprint and recognition continue to play a role in the ongoing evolution of large-format, value-driven home goods retail. For landlords, brokers, and developers, the transition of Kirkland’s locations to Bed Bath & Beyond Home represents ongoing activity in anchor and junior anchor spaces, as well as opportunities for backfill and redevelopment in markets affected by closures.
