Bed Bath & Beyond In Talks To Divest Buybuy Baby To Go Global Retail: Report

Another interested bidder is Babylist, a direct-to-consumer baby registry website, that wants to buy the trademark and domain.
The report further noted that the company also is fielding interest from Overstock.Com, Inc. OSTK for the intellectual property behind the main Bed Bath & Beyond banner.
Price Action: BBBYQ shares closed lower by 1.20% at $0.2460 on Monday.
