California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) office knocked Bed Bath & Beyond on Wednesday after the company announced it won’t open any new retail stores in the Golden State.

“After their bankruptcy and closure of every store, like most Americans, we thought Bed, Bath & Beyond no longer existed,” the California governor’s office posted on the social platform X.

“We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again as they try to open a 2nd store,” the account added.

Bed Bath & Beyond announced this week it won’t open or operate any new stores in California, citing what it called an “overregulated” and “risky environment” for businesses.
