The first Build-A-Bear Workshop™ opened at the Saint Louis Galleria in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA. It is a teddy bear-themed experience retail store that combines the universal appeal of plush animals with an interactive process that allows children from 3 to 103 to create their own huggable companions. Each Workshop® location features a wide variety of new best friends to choose from as well as a vast assortment of clothes and accessories designed and updated regularly to reflect current fashion trends.

Build-A-Bear Workshop™ is committed to providing guests with JOY ... happy, memorable, friendly experiences. We are expanding throughout Europe and Asia, so I hope that we will be in your neighbourhood soon!
