Bed Bath and Beyond has been struggling with slumping sales and wants to focus on growing digital sales.
"We are embracing a straight-forward, back-to-basics philosophy that focuses on better serving our customers, driving growth, and delivering business returns," Sue Gove, director and interim CEO said in a statement.
Bed Bath & Beyond has three other stores in the Tucson area.
