Birthday Bash: Build-A-Bear Giveaway
Birthday Bash: Build-A-Bear Giveaway
“Build-a-Bear Workshop was born from an idea my friend Katie– who was 10 years old at the time – and I had when we were out shopping for stuffed toys. When we couldn’t find the stuffed toy she wanted, she said, “These are so easy, we could make them.” She meant we could do a craft project, but what I heard was so much bigger.
I looked around to see if we could buy a business, like a factory that made stuffed animals and make it even more successful. I found a few that made stuffed animals, but no one wanted to sell. Katie thought we should just do it and so we did. We decided to reinvent the idea of making your own stuffed animals for mall- based retailing. After all, Ray Kroc from McDonald’s didn’t invent hamburgers and Howard Schultz from Starbucks didn’t invent coffee, they just invented how
to sell more and how to sell it better.
Every adult I asked about the idea said it would never work – why would anyone ever want to make their own stuffed animal? But every kid said “Where is it?” and “When can I do it?” My teddy bear, “Teddy”, was my first best friend and helped shape who I am today, so I knew just how meaningful teddy bear friendship could be.
We opened our first store in 1997 at the Saint Louis Galleria in St. Louis, Missouri . Today there are over 400 stores worldwide, and just over 70 million furry friends adventuring around the globe.
One 10 year old girl was the inspiration for this entire company – think of the difference you can make! Always believe in your dream. — Maxine Clark, Chief Executive Bear”
Build-A-Bear Workshop has graciously sponsored and in store party for Serenity and 9 of her friends!! So, on July 17th.. we will pack everyone up and head to the Build-A-Bear store at the mall.

My daughter’s birthday is the 2nd and she’s been telling me since right before the new bears came out that she wanted the Bubblegum bear. So that’s the one I’d go with if I won.
