HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — A Kohl's store in Somerset County will be among hundreds featuring the re-imagined Babies"R"Us.

Kohl's plans to bring the brand to 200 stores, including the Hillsborough location, later this year. Each Babies"R"Us assortment will range from 750 to 2,500 feet of space featuring baby gear, apparel and more.

The first Babies"R"Us shops inside the department stores will open this August, with plans to roll them out in 200 locations this fall, Kohl's announced in March.

Kohl's revealed Wednesday that Babies"R"Us will come to 13 stores in the Garden State this year, including the Hillsborough location at 315 Route 206. This will be the only location in Somerset County.

Babies"R"Us began closing stores in 2018 after its parent company at the time, Toys"R"Us, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. WHP Global acquired both brands in 2021.

Last July, Babies"R"Us re-emerged with a new flagship location at the American Dream mall in Bergen County, where Toys"R"Us also opened a flagship store.

Much like Babies"R"Us at Kohl's, Toys"R"Us has opened hundreds of locations within Macy's stores.
