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, New Jersey, 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.
