In July we let you know that Dream on Me, the New Jersey-based company that recently purchased Buy Buy Baby’s brand and digital assets for $15.5 million and was a supplier for the store, was the successful bidder for 11 store leases at a bankruptcy auction for about $1.17 million. Buy Buy Baby’s sole Montgomery County location, at 1683 Rockville Pike in Rockville’s Congressional Plaza, closed its doors on Sunday, July 30th, but was included as one of 11 stores that will reopen. The store will be reopening on Saturday, November 18th. Per Buy Buy Baby Rockville:
“We’re back, BABY! Mark your calendars-you’re invited to our celebration. Saturday, November 18th, 10am – 1pm. Join us for a day of interacting with your favorite brands, experiencing our store’s new look, and learning about the latest must-have products. Plus, attendees will be eligible to win prizes, enjoy delicious treats and go home with a gift bag!* (while supplies last)”
According to a CNBC report over the summer “The group that bought Buy Buy Baby’s intellectual property at a bankruptcy-run auction in June, the owners of baby goods retailer Dream on Me, plans to reopen 11 stores in the Northeast as soon as this fall.” The Montgomery County location in Rockville, which is Buy Buy Baby’s first ever location is included in the openings. The report goes on to say that there is an “ambitious plan to return the brand to its glory years, with 100 to 120 stores over the next one to three years.”
