In reply to: Dot 's message, "Help!! I have a new addiction! do anyone know if there is a news board or trade site for BUILD A BEAR? would love to talk to others about my new passion." on 17:10:22 10/28/03 Tue

Since early 1997, Maxine Clark has devoted her energies to creating Build-A-Bear Workshop, a teddy bear-themed experience retail store that combines the universal appeal of plush animals with an interactive process that allows children from 3-103 to create their own huggable companions. The first Build-A-Bear Workshop opened in Saint Louis Galleria in the fall of 1997 to a resounding success. Bear Builderssm of all ages are shopping at the innovative retail store that promotes creativity and encourages family entertainment in a fun and unique environment. There will be over 100 stores operating by year end 2002. Build-A-Bear workshop stores are nationwide and will be international by 2003. The National Retail Federation (NRF) named Build-A-Bear Workshop the Retail Innovator of the Year for 2001. Build-A-Bear Workshop was named "Best New Concept for 1998" by Chain Store Age magazine.
