Struggling home goods retailer Bed Bath & Beyond is set to close dozens of additional stores, including two in Jacksonville.

In a list published Monday, stores at 13221 City Station Drive and 6001-24 Argyle Forest Blvd. were among the list of 87 new stores set to close in 2023 amid talks of the storied chain filing for bankruptcy protection. The additional closings come just three weeks after Bed Bath & Beyond announced the closings of dozens of other stores.

No dates for the pending store closings were announced, but "going out of business" sales were underway on Wednesday, when at least one Jacksonville store was offering 20% off everything.

Two other Bed Bath & Beyond stores in the Jacksonville area will remain open. Those include locations at Jacksonville Beach, at 4054 3rd St. S., and on the Southside, at 8801 Southside Blvd.

The retailer entered the Northeast Florida market in 1997, opening its first store at 8801 Southside Blvd. at Timberlin Village, where PetsMart, OfficeMax and the area's first Borders bookstore would follow. Other Bed Bath & Beyond stores would open at 6001 Argyle Forest Blvd. (2002), 9337 Atlantic Blvd. (2004), 13221 City Station Drive (2006) and 4054 3rd St. S. (2006). The Atlantic Boulevard store closed in 2015.
