JC Penney to Introduce Expanded Baby Shops in 500 Stores

PLANO, TEXAS — Plano-based JC Penney will introduce expanded baby shops in 500 of its stores. Beginning Aug. 30, in-store shoppers will have access to a larger selection of cribs, high chairs, strollers and other childcare items, some of which were previously only available online. Most of the 500 stores in question are located near former Babies ‘R’ Us stores, which closed as part of the Toys ‘R’ Us bankruptcy liquidation that was filed earlier this year.
