Major Baby-Goods Retailer Prepares For Comeback
If you feel like we've been down this road before, well, it's because we have.
Announce closure - people get sad - major discounts - store closes - rumors of reopening - reopen - people get happy again.
As someone who is not a business owner, and who has a hard time minding her own business (see what I did there), I can't understand how these business practices are efficient, but nonetheless, another major baby and kid oriented retailer appears to be reopening this fall.
Hello Hello Baby.
buy buy BABY Closes All Retail Locations, July 2023
Earlier this summer, much like several other large-scale retailers lately, buy buy BABY announced that all of their retail locations would soon liquidate and shutter due to bankruptcy. A number of rumors swirled regarding companies looking to purchase the name and trademark, and according to CNBC, 'Dream on Me Industries' which is a fairly unknown Jersey based retailer that once was a supplier to buy buy BABY, purchased the trademark and digital assets for Buy Buy Baby for a whopping $15.5 million.
The buy buy BABY chain was a subsidiary of Bed Bath & Beyond, who also closed all retail locations earlier this year after filing for bankruptcy, with their remaining Hudson Valley location closing their doors in February.
