Build-A-Bear Workshop®, the interactive entertainment retailer
of customized stuffed animals, is teaming up with Orlando
International Airport to open a new store in mid-May. Of the more
than 400 operating locations around the world, this will be the
first Build-A-Bear Workshop store located inside an airport.
“We are very excited about our relationship with Orlando
International Airport and to bring Build-A-Bear Workshop to this
unique location,” said Maxine Clark founder and chief executive
bear of Build-A-Bear Workshop. “Making a furry friend is a great
way to celebrate a memorable vacation. We think this store is going
to be a hit for traveling families.”
The Build-A-Bear Workshop store at Orlando International Airport
will be located in the Main Terminal. The store will provide the
same experience and interaction as mall-based Build-A-Bear Workshop
retail locations. When Guests visit, they will choose from a
variety of animals to make, including limited edition furry
friends. They stuff their new friend, give it a heart filled with
wishes and make a personalized birth certificate. Guests can
further personalize their new friend by recording their own message
to add inside the stuffed animal and choose from a wide selection
of unique fashions and accessories.
Grab and go and new Build-A-Bear Workshop Craftshop™ items will
also be offered at this store location to provide young Guests with
fun activities to keep them occupied in the airport and during
their flights. This assortment includes:
- Stickers
- Activity Books
- Coloring Books
- Make-Your-Own Card Kit
“Creating fun, long lasting memories is just part of the
‘Orlando Experience’ at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and
it’s also part of what Build-A-Bear Workshop brings to our airport.
The addition allows passengers of all ages to take this
one-of-a-kind experience in an airport with them on their travels,”
said Manager of Concessions for the Greater Orlando Aviation
Authority, Linda Baratta.
The majority of Build-A-Bear Workshop stores are located within
shopping malls. Build-A-Bear Workshop also has non-traditional
store locations within three Major League Baseball ballparks, a
store in the Saint Louis Zoo, a store in the Saint Louis Science
Center, and stores located within select Rain Forest Café® and
T-Rex Café locations. The first Build-A-Bear Workshop store in a
hospital opened in March 2011 at Cook Children’s Medical Center in
Fort Worth, TX.
