The Children’s Place recently announced it will relaunch fave kiddo clothing brand Gymboree in early 2020.

As many a mom already knows, Gymboree shuttered all of its stores after filing for bankruptcy. Reportedly, The Children’s Place bought the rights associated with Gymboree (and the Crazy 8 brand) for $76 million.

In a press statement Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer for The Children’s Place, said, “We have embarked upon an exciting journey to bring this iconic brand back to the loyal Gymboree customers, who continue to voice an unrivaled passion and affinity for it. We are thrilled to be able to revitalize bow-to-toe collections that create magical childhood moments.” Elfers also added, “We are making every effort to meet her high standards for curated and elevated product and eagerly anticipate welcoming her back to the Gymboree brand.”

The company plans to launch a personalized online shopping experience on Gymboree.com and sell the brand’s products in more than 200 of The Children’s Place stores across the United States and Canada starting in 2020. The new website will include Gymboree clothing collections in sizes 12M-8T, an enhanced loyalty program and the ability to buy by collection.

Claudia Lima-Guinehut, Senior Vice President, Global Merchandising for The Children’s Place, said, “We believe a multichannel offering combining an enhanced online shopping experience with inviting in-store locations will best serve long-standing Gymboree customers, and also welcome a new generation of moms to the iconic brand.” Lima-Guinehut continued, “The goal is to provide a Gymboree brand experience that reconnects mom to the branded product that she loves, and also provides her with enhanced capabilities she’s come to expect from best-in-class, omni-channel retailers.”

Visit Gymboree.com from late October through mid-January to enter to win an entire Spring 2020 collection in the brand’s Superfan Sweepstakes. Shoppers can also snag one of the weekly $2,500 Gymboree gift card giveaways.

If you were one of the unlucky few that braved the mall last year in hopes of scoring a great deal at Build-A-Bear’s Pay Your Age debacle, you might not exactly be jumping for joy to learn that it’s back. This year promises to be quite different however.

In case you missed it, last year Build-A-Bear was forced to close its stores due to overwhelming response to its Pay Your Age event. After waiting in line, customers were turned away with no bears. However the company did offer vouchers to customers who were in line and even those who just thought about attending the event, but never went after the closures.

Now Pay Your Age is back, but in an effort to not repeat the same mistake, things are a little different this time. From Jun. 11-16 members of the Build-A-Bear Bonus Club rewards program who complete a birthday profile in their online account can enter the Pay Your Age limited ticket offer. If you receive a ticket, you can visit a Build-A-Bear Workshop during one of two assigned redemption periods in the week of Jun. 24 through Jun. 28 and “make one furry friend per child present, limit two furry friends per ticket.” Winners of the Pay Your Age Ticket will be notified by Jun. 21.

Members of the Build-A-Bear Bonus Club rewards program who complete the birthday profile can also enter the Count Your Candles sweepstakes. Ten lucky winners will be chosen to receive a grand prize of a birthday party experience to use any time in the next twelve months valued up to $250.
