Build-A-Bear Workshop is expanding internationally!
International Opportunities
Our strategy is to grant an exclusive Build-A-Bear Workshop franchise per country (outside United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and the United Kingdom).
The franchisee will be responsible for owning and operating all Build-A-Bear Workshop store locations within the country. The preferred franchisee
would live in the country of franchise, have experience operating a retail or related service business in that country, and possess an extensive
understanding of the culture of that country. Our friends 2B made® stores are not yet franchised. For more information on Build-A-Bear Workshop international
franchising, please email a letter of introduction to our international team at
futureworkshop@buildabear.com.
Company owned and operated
Currently, all Build-A-Bear Workshop stores in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and the United Kingdom,
as well as all friends 2B made® locations, are company owned and operated and are not franchised. Our World Bearquarters
is located in Saint Louis, Missouri. We have over 300 locations under consideration. We are open to any suggestions for
locations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and the United Kingdom.
