                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 9.    Regulation FD Disclosure.

Company's Website.

         Linens 'n Things,  Inc.  ("Linens")  maintains a  corporate  website at
www.lnt.com.  Linens  plans to post  significant  corporate  information  on its
website, including, but not limited to, notices of scheduled conference calls or
recorded  messages  concerning  sales  or  earnings  results,  and  webcasts  or
otherwise  recorded  presentations or meetings  concerning Linens' operations or
financial results from time to time. Each notice will provide investors with the
time and date of the event as well as instructions on the access procedure.


         Linens  also  plans to post on the  Linens  website  from  time to time
various presentation materials from certain investor conferences in which Linens
participated, including certain investor conferences which might not be webcast.


         Linens believes that its website is an efficient and expeditious way to
communicate with investors.  Accordingly,  Linens intends to utilize its website
as part of its investor  communication  practices in response to Regulation  FD.
This Form 8-K is intended to be formal notice that  investors  should access the
Linens  website  for  information  concerning  Linens  and  its  operations  and
financial results including certain information concerning financial outlook and
objectives.  Investors  should  also  access  Linens'  website  for  information
concerning dates and times of scheduled  conference calls and recorded  messages
on sales and earnings, as well as investor conferences which are to be webcast.


         All investors  should be aware that posted or archived  information  on
Linens' website is not intended to, and does not,  constitute a determination by
Linens that the information is in fact material.


         In addition, the posting or archiving of information on Linens' website
represents  only  what  was  Linens'  belief  or  outlook  as of the  date  such
information was originally issued or originally  communicated by Linens and such
information  may no longer be  accurate  or complete  following  such date.  The
continued  posting and archiving of such information on Linens' website is not a
representation  that such  information  continues to be accurate or complete and
such information has not been updated.


Note on Forward-Looking Statements.

         The  referenced  call,   recorded  message,   investor  conference  (or
presentation   materials)  or  other  event  also  may  include  forward-looking
statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The statements  may be identified by such  forward-looking  terminology as
"expect,"   "look,"   "believe,"  "may,"  "will,"  "intend,"  "plan,"  "target,"
"objective,"  "goal" and similar  statements or  variations of such terms.  Such
forward-looking  statements  are based on the  Company's  current  expectations,
assumptions,  estimates  and  projections  about  our  Company  as of  the  date
originally  made  and  involve  certain   significant  risks  and  uncertainties
including levels of sales,  store traffic,  acceptance of product  offerings and
fashions,  the  success of our new  business  concepts  and  seasonal  concepts,
competitive pressures from other home furnishings retailers,  the success of the
Canadian expansion, availability of suitable future store locations and schedule
of store  expansion.  These and other  important  factors  that may cause actual
results to differ materially from such  forward-looking  statements are included
in the "Risk Factors"  section of the Company's  Registration  Statement on Form
S-1 as filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission on May 29, 1997, and
may be contained in subsequent  reports filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.  You are  urged  to  consider  all  such  factors.  In  light of the
uncertainty inherent in such forward-looking statements, you should not consider
their inclusion to be a representation that such forward-looking matters will be
achieved.   The  Company   assumes  no   obligation   for   updating   any  such
forward-looking  statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or
changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.
