The Most Fun You'll Ever Make “The Most Fun You'll Ever Make” – that's the motto behind the iconic global retailer, Build-A-Bear Workshop, which offers guests the opportunity to make personalized stuffed animals, including adding smells, sounds and outfits.

The stuffed animals have sparked backlash from conservatives who believe drag is connected to child "grooming," though the bears are made for adults and only available online in the store's "Bear Cave" for customers 18 and older. According to Build-A-Bear, adults and teens make up about 40% of their customer base.

Building Memories, One Bear at a Time Maxine envisioned an interactive retail destination where kids could make personalized “furry friends.” She ultimately created something that is now called “experiential retail” which has fundamentally helped to change the way we think about shopping.
