Data Journey: Claremont, NC

The Bed Bath and Beyond data center is located on the NC Data Center Park. In 2024, Texas-based Data Journey acquired the former Bed Bath & Beyond data center in Claremont, Catawba County, and converted the facility from a purpose-built enterprise data center into a colocation facility. This is the company’s second facility.

Located in the Claremont International Business Park, the facility was built in 2013 at a cost of $36.8 million. It was up for sale via auction in 2023 after Bed Bath & Beyond filed for voluntary Chapter 11.
