The Lovesac Company To Exit Best Buy Shop-In-Shop Partnership, Reducing Workforce By 8% And Incurring $1.7M-$2.1M In Costs; Completion Expected By Q3 Fiscal 2026

Best Buy

On June 11, 2025, The Lovesac Company (the "Company") informed its employees that the Company approved a plan that would reduce operating costs and continue to advance the Company's ongoing commitment to profitability. According to this plan, the Company has discontinued its partnership with Best Buy and intends to wind down the Best Buy shop-in-shop locations (the "Exit"). This decision was made to align with the Company's broader strategic initiative of acceleration of the Company's physical and ecommerce presence. The Exit would result in a reduction of the Company's workforce by approximately 8%, consisting of certain employees that serviced the Best Buy shop-in-shop locations subject to local law and the Company's business needs. The Exit, including the closure of the Best Buy shop-in-shops and the resulting reduction in workforce, is expected to be substantially completed by the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company expects to incur costs in the range of $1.7 million to $2.1 million in connection with the Exit and reduction in workforce, which consists of non-cash impairment charges, severance and other one-time employee termination benefit expenses, and decommissioning of the Best Buy shop-in-shop locations, which the Company expects to recognize primarily in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.

 

The foregoing estimated costs that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Exit are contingent upon a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the Exit.
