| Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores to share one roof Posted: 01 Aug 2012 09:09 AM PDT
Toys R Us has started transforming stores across the U.S., including South Florida, into side-by-side stores with its other brand, Babies R Us. The chain plans to open eight new stores and transform 13 existing locations into side-by-side concepts by the end of the year, including one store in Miami, according to a press release. The idea to house two stores under one roof is meant to make shopping more convenient and easier to navigate for customers. Toys R Us stores range in size from 30,000 to 70,000 square feet. Toys R Us sections would shrink some in order to make enough room for Babies R Us locations. "Our strategy has provided the opportunity to capture customers at their family's earliest stage and grow with them through childhood," said Jerry Storch, Chairman and CEO, Toys R Us, Inc. in a news release. The Toys R Us store at 1645 NW 107th Ave., in Miami is one of the 13 locations being renovated. "Reinvesting in existing locations to bring both brands together in an integrated format is one of our key initiatives, and we found a great opportunity to do that in Miami," said Katelyn Leondi, spokeswoman for Toys R Us. " We are always looking for communities that would benefit from the products and services that Toys R Us and Babies R Us offer." Other South Florida Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores, including ones in Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Aventura, Pembroke Pines and Coral Springs may eventually be converted, she said. By the end of 2012, Toys R Us expects to operate 204 side-by-side stores nationwide, which makes up for nealy 25 percent of all its stores across the country.
