Kroger customers will soon be able to buy Bed, Bath & Beyond home and baby products on the company’s online site and in select stores.

The multi-category omnichannel collaboration will include popular items – from bedding and storage to baby furniture and gear – from Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy Baby’s assortment, the company said in a statement.

Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy Baby products will launch on Kroger.com by early 2022.
