Home electronics and appliance retailer BrandsMart USA is coming back to Kennesaw! Siteplans for Cobb Place shopping center (840 Ernest W Barrett Parkway) confirm that BrandsMart will open in the former Bed Bath & Beyond space, a roughly 45,000 square foot suite between existing anchors DSW and Cost Plus World Market.
Atlanta-based Aaron's Co., operators of the successful Aaron's chain of rent-to-own stores, purchased BrandsMart USA in 2022. At the time of the purchase, BrandsMart operated ten stores, including local stores in Doraville and Stockbridge as well as as a "outlet clearance center" in South Florida.
The company opened a new store in Augusta in 2023, bringing its total to eleven stores ahead of the Kennesaw debut.
ToNeTo Atlantaexclusively reported March 28 that the former Bed Bath & Beyond in Peachtree City is becoming Georgia's first Homesense, a new HomeGoods sibling store from TJX Cos. ToNeTo Atlanta was also first to report February 29 that Bloomingdale's the outlet store will also open its first Atlanta area store in the majority of the former Bed Bath & Beyond in Buckhead.
Barnes & Noble opened a new East Cobb store last year in most of the former Bed Bath & Beyond while Burlington has opened in place of multiple former locations around metro Atlanta including those in Edgewood Retail District and Akers Mill Square.
The new BrandsMart USA in Kennesaw is slated to open later this summer.
