No Store Openings, No Apologies – Twitchy

Bed, Bath and Beyond won’t be opening any stores in California and they are not ashamed to say why.

Official statement regarding @BedBathBeyond

We will not open retail stores in California.

This isn’t about politics — it’s about reality.

Oop! That’s got to sting, Gavin Newsom.

Arguably the most devastating critique of California government. Amazing, depressing, understandable. https://t.co/9hPOah7XvJ

I’ve been screaming this from the mountain tops for years

California is absurdly anti business, anti small business, and makes it overly risky to start or grow a business by way of new hiring.

The risk business owners absorb is always a state or employee lawsuit away from… https://t.co/m2KXUvGCeT

Gavin is determined to bring these policies to all of America. No thanks.

This is why we cannot let Democrats gain a trifecta in Wisconsin. 2026 really matters for the future of our state. We can’t let them California our Wisconsin way of life … https://t.co/n61wJiTxQ0

Boom!

THIS is what California Dems have wrought—a hostile work environment for both businesses and their paying customers.

Such a beautiful state with absolutely horrific policies.

We need to Make California Great Again so business thrives. Bed Bath and Beyond lays TRUTH. ⬇️ I believe in the people of California/ you can stand up to bad policies and leadership and make your lives better. I love California – and so do many of the people and businesses who… https://t.co/VdWVwYmj8O

The normies in California deserve much better.

On the one hand, Gavin Newsom claims he’s the best governor in the country and his state is a bastion of freedom and economic opportunity.

On the other hand, Bed, Bath, and Beyond can’t even open stores there.

Did Newsom lie to me? https://t.co/WDrX54MyzX

This is 😬😬😬 if you’re Gavin Newsom. https://t.co/2XiaW8rDNN

Gavin Newsom has no ability to feel cringe. 

California’s response will probably be new taxes and regulations on online deliveries. https://t.co/KO5OX51wrw

Don’t give them any ideas. 

Hi @CAgovernor and @GovPressOffice 😄 All the trolling in the world won’t change your disastrous results. And everyone knows it. https://t.co/JxgmDjmXf7

They should spend way less time on sick burns on Twitter and way more time figuring out why businesses are fleeing their state. 

You’re doing great @CAgovernor https://t.co/e9NNZCeezM
