Bed Bath & Beyond is expected to shutter more of its stores than previously planned.

The New-Jersey based home goods retailer announced on a quarterly earnings call it will close 60 stores by the end of the fiscal year instead of the 40 it originally estimated. Company officials said most of the store closings are expected to happen in early 2020.

Specific store locations that will close have not yet been announced. Last month, when Bed Bath & Beyond said it would close or relocate underperforming stores, the company would not say whether any N.J. stores are closing.

Interim CEO Mary Winston said 20 of the 60 closings will be the company’s other concept stores, which include Harmon Face Values, buybuy Baby and World Market.

“With this action, we are increasing the profitability of our remaining portfolio and believe that our remaining fleet will benefit from our renewed focus on driving traffic and operating efficiency," Winston said.

Bed Bath & Beyond is planning to refresh nearly 160 of its stores before this holiday season.

There are currently 35 Bed Bath & Beyond locations in New Jersey, along with company headquarters in Union.

Bed Bath & Beyond was founded in 1971 and currently has 62,000 full-time employees.
