Cost Plus Bed Bath & BeyondHoping for a competitive edge over other top kitchen stores, Cost Plus World Market and Bed Bath & Beyond announced a partnership Friday that will bring the specialty import store's food products into select home goods stores.

Currently, the partnership is only in the select locations: San Diego, CA, Totowa, NJ, and Elmsford, NY, but who knows — it's entirely possible (in the same way Jamba Juice is hoping to branch out with frozen yogurt) that if successful, the partnership would expand nationwide.

This alliance could be just the push that both stores need to beat out other top kitchenwares and housewares competition. I'm gunning for it, as I love the international candy selection at Cost Plus and the exhaustive home goods of Bed Bath & Beyond. Do you think the partnership could work?

The Year's Best Kitchen Store

As part of our Best of 2008 coverage, we asked you where you like to shop for kitchen supplies.

As part of our Best of 2008 coverage, we asked you where you like to shop for kitchen supplies. Williams-Sonoma was the clear winner with 39 percent of the vote. YumSugar and I agree with you readers: we love Williams-Sonoma too! Not only does Williams-Sonoma have an amazing selection of quality kitchenware, but it also publishes must-read cookbooks. In November we were lucky enough to score the ultimate Thanksgiving giveaway thanks to our friends at Williams-Sonoma. The store recently launched a wine club that I look forward to checking out in 2009. What do you love about Williams-Sonoma?
