The company declared bankruptcy today and will sell off all its merchandise and close its stores over the next month or so. The coupons (of which we have about 700 or so) will not be honored after Tuesday, and gift cards will be phased out as well.

Forbes Magazine has a different take on BBB's bankruptcy. The company hired a Target executive as CEO and he embarked on a private label strategy, ditching name brands in favor of BBB's own merchandise. Eventually many shoppers found they couldn't get the brands they wanted at BBB and went elsewhere. What worked at Target didn't work at BBB because customers expected name brands at BBB which they could get at a discount with the coupons that were readily available. A bad decision, but not a "woke" decision. The brands mentioned in the article are All-Clad cookware, OXO kitchen gadgets, and Mikasa china. MyPillow and Mike Lindell are not mentioned anywhere in the article. Eventually, the company ran out of cash.
I would trust Forbes's reporting (not exactly a member of the"liberal media") more than PJ Media, the source for Flock's article.
Virtually every major retailer, including Kohl's, has dropped MyPillow or never carried it, for a business reason. The company makes a crappy pillow. Kohl's has done quite nicely without MyPillow. They now sell almost exclusively direct to the public and market through right-wing stations like Fox News and Newsmax.
