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.

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.

Also, each of our animals is made with a unique bar code that is placed inside of it when it's made. We also give each animal a "birth certificate" with that number so it is tied to the purchaser. Found animals can be returned to the store where we can contact the person who lost it.

The B.E.A.R. Project is a training run by CAPS at Brown to help members of our community identify and support students in distress. Our hope is that this training will empower you to respond in a compassionate and skilled manner to Brown students who may be in distress.

Common characteristics of modern bears include large bodies with stocky legs, long snouts, small rounded ears, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonretractile claws, and short tails.

In 2022, the United States had more than 3.6 million babies born. In the last decade, north of 40 million babies were born in America. With roughly 18% of people under 15 years of age, and many adults loving a stuffed animal every now and then, Build-A-Bear remains in a good position despite retail challenges.

It's true that our furry friends appeal to kids of all ages. But please note that our stuffed animals are appropriate for kids ages 2 and up.

Many adults went to Build-A-Bear as children and still have a strong affinity for the brand today. In fact, a meaningful and growing portion of Build-A-Bear's furry friends are purchased by and for adults.

Originally conceived as a place for children to create their own special teddy bear with a step-by-step process including our now iconic Heart Ceremony, Build-A-Bear is now a multi-generational, multi-dimensional global brand appealing to diverse consumer demographics.
