Alex Baby and Toys is Coming Soon to Montgomery Mall

Published April 10, 2022 at 8:15AM

Alex Baby and Toys, a new concept from FYE, will be coming soon to Montgomery Mall. It will be located downstairs next to Old Navy. Though the FYE website lists two locations at Montgomery Mall (doesn’t specify that the locations are not yet open), we are told there will only be one in the mall.

Signage is up on the exterior of the upcoming toy/baby product store, but construction remains ongoing inside. As of now, there aren’t many details as to what the store will provide, but the name is pretty telling.
