Bearemy®, our huggable mascot, was born on August 21st, 1998. When he came to us we knew he was a beary special friend, so how would we find the pawfect name? We put out a search in all our Build-A-Bear Workshop™ stores to find the beary best name for our new friend! We had lots of great ideas, but the one that fit the best was from our young friend Samantha - Bearemy!

Bearemy is 9 ½ paws tall (about 6 ft. 4 in.), but is beary shy about his weight. Let's just say he LOVES honey!

Bearemy quickly became the hottest bear in the country. He enjoys meeting our Guests at new store openings and in-store events. He also travels around to visit children in the hospital and where ever someone needs a hug.

Bearemy gives the beary best hugs and believes that a bear hug is understood in any language! He gives thousands each year!

He has lots of friends, but his best friend is Pawlette Coufur, Fashion Advisor to the Furry Famous. She makes sure Bearemy always looks his best! And they have so much fun together playing in the store!

Look for Bearemy at in-store events at Build-A-Bear Workshop™ or when a new location is opening in your area!
