Marcus Lemonis, executive chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond, said the decision “isn’t about politics – it’s about reality.”

Bed Bath and Beyond executive chairman Marcus Lemonis said he won't reopen retail stores in California, taking a shot at Gov. Gavin Newsom and calling the state a risky environment for business.
