The store that filled the space left behind when a popular Bed Bath & Beyond store closed appears to be suffering a similar fate, at least that’s how customers see it.
Canadian home improvement brand Rooms and Spaces opened in a large West Broadway retail space over the summer, but the new store appears to have closed after just three months.
