New York – In an exclusive interview with HTT, Beyond Inc. executive chairman Marcus Lemonis shares his vision and sets the record straight about some of the company’s initiatives.
The conversation was prompted by an opinion piece written by HTT editor-in-chief Jennifer Marks – 5 Events That Stood Out in 2024 – which included a section on “The Beyond Circus.” Lemonis proposed a recorded conversation to respond. The conversation is, at his request, unedited.
The wide-ranging discussion covers the many activities at Beyond Inc. – and why some of the initiatives that launched in 2024 were set aside. Lemonis also delves into the future of Bed Bath & Beyond in the physical retail space and the company’s partnership with Kirkland’s Home. The pod concludes with Lemonis’ advice for suppliers in a tumultuous economic and tariff environment. Hint: preserve cash!
The interview marks the launch of HTT’s new podcast, At The Mic, which will come out twice monthly. If you’d like to be part of a future podcast, contact Jennifer Marks at jmarks@hometextilestoday.com.
