Are all stores company owned or are franchises available? My daughter and I are interested in this franchise For Sarasota, Florida. Can you give us information regarding this possibility?

Thanks,
Shirley Gruen

BABW are all corporately owned, an alternative that is very well done is The Bear Mill. thebearmill.com It is a franchise and has many locations available.

Hi, I have the same question as so many others, is the BABW a franchise? If not it should be, I have no idea where the closest one to me would be. I visited on in Destin Florida, but that was well over 150+ miles away on vacation. There are so many other kids who would love the experience. My sisters and I would love to open a build a bear workshop and pass it down to our kids and of course whom will pass it on to their kids. It's so unique, I think it will be around for a long time.

Thank you, Shannon

Bear in the Know

Build-a-Bear workshop is ONLY available as a franchise outside of the USA. It was privately held (by founder/owner Maxine Clark) until late 2005, now it is publicly traded on the NYSE, symbol BBW. BABW does not want to expand too widely, it would dilute the specialness of it. Don't be fooled by the person touting "thebearmill.com", those fly-by-night mall kiosk type bear stands sell shoddier, more expensive product, and rarely stay in business long. I see their stuffers being offered on ebay all the time from stores that tanked. BABW has that special "something" a sort of lighting in a bottle that it's imitators haven't been able to catch- ONLY at BABW will you see products like Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Walt Disney characters, Hello Kitty, etc. You'll never see their immitators product at Target stores or Penney's either. BABW has forged great relationships all over the retail world.

The following company is similar and specializes in daycares and birthdays. You have the opportunity to buy your own business. Check out www.isail2u.com

I don't know how Shannon (Above) got her info, but she is misleading. While there are companies out there selling shoddy equipment and shoddy animals to stuff, the Bear Mill is not one. It has Franchises in all parts of the US and Canada. None of it's franchises has ever gone out of business. I know because I own two (maine and New Hampshire) of them. They offer quality animals in a larger selection than BBWS and more outfits. Their stuffing machines are the bets in the business and you can own one affordably. It is a well thought out concept and if you are in a buil A Bear free area I would recomend it highly. I will point out that I have nothing to do with the Bear Mills parent company. I am just a satisfied franchisee.
