Bed Bath & Beyond se declara en quiebra en EU: ¿Tiendas cerrarán en México?
¿Qué pasará con las operaciones de Bed Bath & Beyond en México después de que la matriz Bed Bath & Beyond Inc se acogió al Capítulo 11 de protección por bancarrota en Estados Unidos?
La respuesta: continuarán operando con normalidad, esto porque las operaciones de las 12 tiendas físicas y la tienda que hay en línea son operadas en México por Home & More, S.A. de C.V., un joint venture, desde 2008.
“Queremos aclarar que la marca en México, y las tiendas mexicanas, son parte de una entidad legal independiente a la de Estados Unidos, trabajando de manera autónoma en cuanto a sus operaciones y ventas al público”, informó la cadena mediante un comunicado en su sitio en línea.
Aseguran que las operaciones en México cuentan con resultados operativos y financieros positivos, con un balance general sólido y sin deuda, por lo cual seguirá operando normalmente.
La empresa de comercio electrónico cuenta con 12 tiendas ubicadas en: Interlomas, Santa Fe, Gran Sur, Satélite, Del Valle, Metepec, Cuernavaca, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Morelia, Puebla y Querétaro.
De acuerdo con la conversación que El Financiero tuvo con la operadora en 2022, la meta de Bed Bath & Beyond es alcanzar las 15 sucursales en 2023, y para mejorar su rentabilidad apostaron por reducir en 50 por ciento su tamaño por tienda nueva; darle un mayor empuje al comercio electrónico, y contar con una oferta más selecta de productos, que incluye su apuesta por sus marcas propias, que aportan poco más del 15 por ciento de sus ventas.
Contrario al resultado de México, en Estados Unidos las marcas propias no dieron resultaron y la empresa tuvo pérdidas de unos 393 millones de dólares tras la caída de 33 por ciento anual de sus ventas en el trimestre finalizado el 26 de noviembre de 2022.
La minorista con sede en Union, Nueva Jersey, se declaró en quiebra en un tribunal del distrito de Nueva Jersey, al que informó de activos y pasivos estimados entre mil millones y 10 mil millones de dólares, según una presentación judicial.
De acuerdo con un comunicado, la empresa ha recibido un compromiso de financiamiento durante la bancarrota de aproximadamente 240 millones de dólares de Sixth Street Specialty Lending Inc.
La empresa añadió que sus 360 tiendas y sitios web Bed Bath & Beyond y 120 buybuy BABY permanecerán abiertos y seguirán atendiendo a los clientes mientras inicia los esfuerzos para cerrar sus tiendas.
Killer Who Fled to North Carolina After Slaying Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison

A Houston man who killed his former girlfriend in her apartment in 2020 then fled to his mother’s home in North Carolina was sentenced to 40 years in prison late Monday after being convicted of murder, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced.
“We stand with the family and mourn for this vibrant young woman who was cut down in her prime for absolutely no reason,” Ogg said. “Far too often, domestic violence leads to gun violence, and it is just senseless.”
Corey Lewis Campbell, 34, moved to Houston from North Carolina in 2016 to work in construction. Jurors convicted him of murder on Friday after two weeks of trial for fatally shooting 33-year-old Darlene Solis on April 28, 2020. They handed down the sentence Monday.

The two had dated on and off for about three years as Campbell worked construction jobs across the country. He had recently finished a job in Utah when he moved in with Solis temporarily while he decided his next move.
Solis was dating another man but wanted to help out her ex-boyfriend. While they were alone in her apartment on West Little York, Campbell shot Solis four times, killing her. He left the .40-caliber pistol under the bed and drove to North Carolina, where his mother lived. When he reached that state, he left the car in a Wal-Mart parking lot and had his mother pick him up.
In Houston, Solis had not been heard from for two days. Her mother, who had been married to a deputy with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, asked her ex-husband to check on Solis. He was on patrol at the time and went into her apartment with his body camera turned on. He found his step-daughter’s body and called police. He testified in the two-week trial, and his body-cam footage was used as evidence.
Detectives with the Houston Police Department investigating the case interviewed a witness whom Campbell spoke to in North Carolina. That witness knew details about the case that were not public, including where the murder weapon was in the apartment and the gun’s caliber and brand. Campbell was arrested and waived extradition. He was brought back to Houston to face trial. He will have to serve at least half of the sentence before he is eligible for parole.
Assistant District Attorney Ryan McLearen, a chief in the DA’s Domestic Violence Division, prosecuted the case with ADA Stepheny De Silva.
“This was the woman he claimed that he loved, but he killed her in cold blood and then ran off,” McLearen said. “He took a daughter, he took a sister, he took an aunt, and the jury handed down the right sentence.”
McLearen noted that Solis had a large extended family, many of whom were in the courtroom every day of the trial. After the sentencing, jurors heard a victim impact statement from Solis’ mother, who sat through the entire trial. They also heard a letter from one of Solis’ brothers, who attended two weeks of trial but had to return to his job in the Army.

Disney demanda al gobernador de Florida por toma de terrenos
Disney demandó el miércoles al gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, por la toma estatal de los terrenos donde se encuentran sus parques temáticos, alegando que el republicano emprendió “una campaña selectiva de represalias gubernamentales” luego de que la compañía se opuso a una ley conocida como “no digas gay”.
La demanda fue presentada minutos después de que una junta de supervisión designada por DeSantis para abordar el tema votó a favor de anular un acuerdo que colocaba en manos de la compañía las decisiones de diseño y construcción de los parques temáticos.
“Disney lamenta que haya tenido que llegar a esto”, señala la querella. “Pero habiendo agotado todos los esfuerzos para resolver el conflicto, la compañía no tiene otra opción mas que interponer esta demanda para proteger a sus miembros, invitados y socios locales de desarrollo de una campaña implacable para armar el poder gubernamental contra Disney en represalia por expresar un punto de vista político impopular con ciertos funcionarios del Estado”.
Es el conflicto más reciente en una disputa en curso entre DeSantis, quien se tiene previsto que se postule a la presidencia, y Disney, un poderoso actor político y gran impulsor del turismo en Florida.
DeSantis, que se ha presentado como un republicano capaz de aplicar hábilmente su agenda conservadora sin dramas, se ha lanzado de cabeza a la lucha con la querida empresa y principal motor del turismo, mientras los líderes empresariales y los rivales de la Casa Blanca critican su postura, a la que consideran un rechazo extraordinario a uno de los principios del conservadurismo de una limitada intervención del Estado.
“No tenemos conocimiento de ningún derecho legal que una empresa tenga para operar su propio gobierno o mantener privilegios especiales que no tengan otras empresas en el estado”, dijo la portavoz de DeSantis, Taryn Fenske. “Esta demanda es otro desafortunado ejemplo de su esperanza de socavar la voluntad de los votantes de Florida y operar fuera de los límites de la ley”.
El enfrentamiento empezó el año pasado, luego de que Disney, enfrentando una presión significativa, se opuso públicamente a la ley estatal que prohíbe enseñar sobre temas de orientación sexual e identidad de género en los primeros años escolares, una ley conocida como “no digas gay”.
Como castigo, el gobierno de DeSantis se apropió de los terrenos del distrito autónomo de Disney World y designó una junta de supervisores que se encargaría de vigilar los servicios municipales en los enormes parques temáticos. Pero antes de que la junta se instalara, la compañía logró un acuerdo de última hora que le quitó a la nueva junta de supervisores gran parte de su autoridad. La junta de DeSantis dijo el miércoles que la acción de Disney para retener el control de su propiedad era ilegal y se había llevado a cabo sin previo aviso.

Second American dies in Sudan amid fighting, U.S. confirms
A second American citizen has died in Sudan amid clashes between two rival generals, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby confirmed Wednesday.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family,” Kirby said in a call with reporters. “We continue to make clear at the highest level of our government to the leadership of both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces that they are responsible for ensuring the protection of civilians and noncombatants, including people from third countries and humanitarian staff that are working to save lives.”
Kirby said the person died Tuesday but did not confirm their identity. However, the Sudanese American Physicians Association said on Tuesday that Bushra Ibnauf Sulieman, a doctor who practiced medicine in the U.S. for a number of years before returning to Sudan, had been killed earlier in the day. The group said he had been on the frontlines providing emergency medical aid during the conflict and was killed outside his home while escorting his father to a medical appointment.
Sulieman was a professor of internal medicine and director of the faculty of medicine at the University of Khartoum, the association said.
Kirby said a 72-hour ceasefire brokered by the U.S. that began late Monday has mostly held, though there has been some violence between forces controlled by Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who leads the Sudanese Armed Forces, and Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who is in charge of the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group.
“We’ve said this many, many times, but the violence is simply unconscionable and it must stop,” Kirby said.
The U.S. military evacuated American personnel from the embassy in Khartoum over the weekend and President Biden confirmed embassy operations were “temporarily” suspended.
Before the ceasefire, Americans in the country had been urged to shelter in place. Kirby said Wednesday that the U.S. is “actively facilitating the departure of a relatively small number of Americans who have indicated to us that they want to leave.”
“We continue to deploy U.S. intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets, unmanned assets to support land evacuation routes, which Americans are using, and we’re still moving naval assets within the region to provide support along the coast and offer Port Sudan,” he said. “American citizens are arriving in Port Sudan and we’re helping to facilitate their onward travel as appropriate.”

The US economy grew at a much slower pace in the first quarter
The US economy slowed to an annualized and seasonally adjusted rate of 1.1% in the first quarter of this year, according to GDP data released Thursday by the Department of Commerce.
That falls below economists’ expectations of 2% and marks a much slower pace compared to the previous two quarters, as rising interest rates and high inflation weighed on consumers and businesses.
Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of economic output, contributed the most to the first quarter’s growth as Americans spent robustly on both goods and services. Spending was stronger compared with the previous quarter, led by purchases of cars and vehicle parts and spending on healthcare services.
However, business spending fell in the beginning of the year as firms spent less on equipment.
