Build-A-Bear Updates Mall of America Location
Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc., opened a new store model this week at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. Part of a company-wide brand refresh, the reformatted store, located on the first level in the north wing, officially reopened its doors after a multi-month renovation.
New elements include:
• New logo, store set-up, and color palette
• Updated storefront, featuring Build-A-Bear’s distinctive signature teddy bear silhouette
• Seven-foot tall Build-A-Bear stuffer prominently placed in the store’s center
• New “Inspiration Wall” displaying different trends and fashions tied to pop culture, giving shoppers creative ideas
The Build-A-Bear Workshop store at Mall of America is the third location to open with the new design. A total of 11 stores are planned in the format by the end of the year. The company expects to value-engineer components of the store as it moves from prototype to a standardized model in order to systematically update existing locations and open new doors over the next few years.
In addition, Build-A-Bear has launched an updated, mobile-optimized website, a YouTube channel, and mobile apps. Build-A-Bear will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2017.
