Have you ever heard of Yogi Bear? Do you realize that the teddy bear is a mainstay of American Children? Are you familiar with the bear that prevents forest fires? (That would be Smoky the Bear) Taking into consideration that the cuddliest of creatures for so many children is the bear, Build-A-Bear Workshop came to life. This company's mission is to allow the youth of this country to help bring a Teddy Bear to life. This company does not just represent comfort and integrity, it also represents love. This is the purity of their thought process that helps them to run their business on a daily basis. This company includes themes that promote wellness and literacy with books and other multimedia materials. Creating a cuddly friend at Build-A-Bear Workshop is as fun and rewarding as it is educational. The mascot for the company was brought to life back in 1998 out of St. Louis, Missouri, and taking the Show Me State attitude one step further, Build-A-Bear Workshop shows love.
