I attended the Grand Opening ceremonies for Babies-R-Us this morning. The store is connected to the Toys-R-Us near the Fox River Mall. Troy and Amy, from the store, had invited town leaders to the ribbon cutting ceremony. As a new supervisor, this was my first such event, and it was a lot of fun. I joined Chairman Marsen and Assistant Fire Chief Michael DeBruler at the dedication.The Babies-R-Us location is the first of it's kind in the area. It's following a new trend by the parent company in connecting the two stores, instead of having them stand alone. Customers are able to shop unilateraly, between the stores. The Grand Chute store will be closely monitored. If the concept is successful, other stores in the area will follow this thumbprint.
