A shopping cart sits in the parking lot at a Babies "R" Us store on January 24, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois.
Babies R Us is trying to make a comeback.
WHP Global, a brand management firm, owns the retailer's parent company, Tru Kids.
"Our plan to open Babies R Us at American Dream in the coming months is a huge milestone in the return of Babies R Us to the U.S.A., and it sets the stage for a national rollout of Babies R Us in the future," Shmidman said.
American Dream, which has had its own struggles, is located near MetLife Stadium, about 10 miles outside New York City.
