Norwalk Kohl's Part Of Babies 'R' Us Re-Emergence

CONNECTICUT — The Babies 'R' Us monicker is returning to Connecticut — and Norwalk — after an absence of about six years. Kohl's Wednesday made an announcement that, "with Mother’s Day around the corner," it is "getting ready to welcome expecting and experienced parents to Babies'R' Us at Kohl’s."

In all, Kohl's plans 200 in-store Babies 'R' Us locations nationwide, including three in Connecticut.

They are:

• Manchester1 at 55 Tolland Turnpike.
• Plainville at 200 New Britain Ave.
• Norwalk at 500 Connecticut Ave.

The Babies 'R' Us at Kohl’s shop will feature a "curated assortment of the latest baby gear, furniture, activity, accessories, and more," according to the announcement. The Babies 'R' Us areas will be designed to complement Kohl’s existing baby and kids apparel that includes brands like Little Co. by Lauren Conrad, Jumping Beans, Carters and Nike.

The first Babies'R' Us shops will begin opening in August, officials said. They will continue opening through fall, with all 200 shops "open in time for the holidays," according to the announcement.

The shops will measure between 750 and 2,500 square feet and work similarly to the Sephora inserts already at Kohl's stores, officials said.

Babies ‘R’ Us shut its stores in 2018 after its parent company, Toys 'R' Us, liquidated its assets amid bankruptcy proceedings.
