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.

Bed Bath & Beyond, attempting to relaunch its brick-and-mortar operation, won’t be putting any stores in California, its chairman declared. “California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America,” said a statement Wednesday, Aug. 20, from Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis.
