A BRU in the city (northside) - am I the only one who didn't know?

I just saw the BRU today on Western just south of Addison.  I had no idea it was there.  It's always been a TRU, but now the BRU sign is on it too.  Has anyone been?  Is it nice?  I know when I was registering, it would've been nice to have a BRU that close.

    Its not fully BRU yet.  I was there this weekend and its still under construction inside-though its open.  I don't know how much BRU stuff is in b/c I am too afraid to look at it!

    This happened to the TRU by us too- the one in Downers Grove.  Just in the last couple of months.  Maybe it's a company-wide thing?

    I've only been in there once, while they were remodeling.  Didn't seem to have quite as much BRU stuff as the "real" BRU, but maybe they were still working on it.

    I was in there a couple months ago and got all excited when I saw they were adding it. But I've been to the TRU/BRU combination stores before (mostly the one in North Riverside) and I've been disappointed with their lack of selection. So I drove out to my parents' house in Bartlett and registered at the HUGE one in Schaumburg.

    I had been thinking about stopping by as well. Hopefully it will be nice for little things.

    I've noticed that Buy Buy baby is just a better store all around.  Better selection and the customer service is GREAT... they know they products much better than Babies R Us.   Every time I went in BRU they would be calling other people in different departments to answer my questions.  BRUs selection isn't as great either.  Even in Schaumburg BRU only has two car seats of each brand... barely anything to look at.
