HomeGoods preps new store and another Discovery Parkway high-rise in the works.

A HomeGoods store is taking over the space previously occupied by Bed Bath & Beyond at 205 N. Stadium Blvd., according to building permits issued by the Columbia Building and Site Development office in September.

The September report also listed building permits for $2.4 million in renovations to the Burrell Behavior Health office building off Berrywood Drive and a $10.3 million development off Discovery Parkway. The city issued 118 building permits with a combined valuation of $39.23 million. The Boone County Resource Management Office issued 76 building permits with a total valuation of $15.36 million. The city and county issued 194 building permits with a combined valuation of $54.57 million.

The building permit for the HomeGoods store listed TJX Companies of Fort Worth, Texas, as the owner. HomeGoods has standalone and superstore formats, which couple HomeGoods with a TJ Maxx or Marshalls. HomeGoods is a sister company to T.J. Maxx, Sierra Trading Post, and Marshalls. Tenant Build Inc. of Richland Hills, Texas, is the general contractor for the $1.8 million building renovation.

HomeGoods also has Missouri stores in Jefferson City, Osage Beach, Wentzville, and St. Peters. According to its website, HomeGoods stores offer “many affordable ways to upgrade your home décor, from wall art to stylish chairs and accent tables,” in addition to other home decorations, furniture, rugs, bedding, and kitchen essentials.

Columbia was one of seven Missouri sites where Bed Bath & Beyond shuttered stores in 2023 as it sought to cut costs and stay afloat pending a possible bankruptcy filing. The location is near the vacant Macy’s building, which closed in 2016.
