Babies "R" Us Opening in Pinole

New signage is in place and the word is out: Babies "R" Us will open at the Toys "R" Us store next week.

The national retailer announced the opening at 1330 Fitzgerald Drive Thursday in a news release.

The change will offer a store that is "easy to navigate and showcases the exclusive product offerings," the company said.

The store will celebrate its grand June 8 through June 10 with "giveaways, kid-friendly activities and visits from popular costumed characters," according to the statement.

The store also will have a gift registry for expectant parents and will allow shoppers to make purchases online and pick up them up hours later.

"The redesign of this store represents an ongoing strategy for the world’s leading dedicated toy and juvenile products retailer to bring two trusted brands together under one roof in an integrated Side-by-Side store format," according to the release.
