Audio By Carbonatix

MURRAY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 15, 2025--

Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BBBY) today announced that it has made an additional $3 million investment in convertible notes in GrainChain, a leading agricultural technology and fintech company.

“We continue to be extremely pleased with both the results and forward-thinking leadership at GrainChain. They have demonstrated consistent progress and growth,” said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. “While many people refer to the company as GrainChain, when I think about them, I think about Supply Chain. The possibilities are endless, and we want to prove that.”

In addition to the investment, Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. has separately engaged GrainChain to analyze its entire supply chain in order to improve efficiency, margin, and inventory turns. This engagement spans international and domestic sourcing, fulfillment of customer orders, and last-mile delivery to stores. Bed Bath & Beyond believes that GrainChain’s technology has applications far beyond agriculture and is leveraging its own business to demonstrate the platform’s broader potential.

This latest investment builds on Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc.’s ongoing support for GrainChain and underscores the company’s confidence in GrainChain’s ability to transform global supply chains.
