Babies “R” Us, an iconic children’s retail brand, announces its return to San Antonio through a new partnership with Kohl’s department store. The comeback is marked by the opening of a mini Babies “R” Us section in northwest Bexar County, located at Kohl’s store in Bandera Pointe, 11781 Bandera Road.
Introduced in a news release in March, the partnership is set to establish Babies “R” Us sections in about 200 Kohl’s stores across the United States by fall 2024. The specially curated areas will range from 750 to 2,500 square feet, encompassing an array of baby-related products. These will include baby gear, activity and bath items, furniture, feeding necessities, and safety products, thereby enhancing Kohl’s existing baby department.
In addition to the in-store experience, Babies “R” Us products will be readily available for purchase on Kohls.com. This move aligns with the continuing trend of online shopping, providing customers an option to shop at their convenience and from the comfort of their homes.
The recovery of Babies “R” Us follows the closure of big-box stores in the late 2010s due to retail struggles which lead to the toy retailer filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Though Babies “R” Us persisted in selling items online, a resurgence began in 2021 when the iconic brand was acquired by new owners. Baby steps towards revival were made with the opening of a flagship store at the American Dream megamall situated in New Jersey in 2021, and the relaunch of parent company Toys R Us with shops inside Macy’s stores earlier in 2022.
The return of Babies “R” Us to San Antonio is eagerly anticipated by families who had previously relied on the retailer for decades for disparate baby products and toys. The exact date of the store opening remains elusive; nonetheless, the establishment is positively set to grace the local retail scene later this year.
This collaboration between Babies “R” Us and Kohl’s illustrates the ongoing transformation of the retail sector, where merging the offline and online shopping experiences is proving to be beneficial for brands and consumers alike. Such partnerships and rebranding strategies are progressively shaping the future of retail, offering customers a diverse and convenient shopping experience.
