Build-A-Bear Workshop

Shopped here in Halifax and also Moncton over the last 10 years or so and today was the experience that would make you wonder why you shop there. 3 associates in the store and about 10 clients, nobody was being helped. I had to drag the girl off the filler machine to ask questions as the 2 associates that were 5 feet from me wouldn't help.
The only thing that saves this is the child was not with us, we are shopping the finished Bear.

All that being said, the item is 100% great product and great value.

I wanted to make a present with a personalized message for my former work colleagues. And Build-a-Bear seemed like a great place to make something they could never forget me with!
Jessica, my helper, had a great sense of humour, since it wasn't a traditional bear for children.
Very fast and reasonably priced.

Staff was friendly store was clean. Not a huge selection on accessories/clothing for the bears and most stuff that was there is more appealing to little girls and not so much little boys. Over all my son was happy with the experience

It was very thoughtful layout, a plethora of options, to meets the wants of any person, you read that right, because it's not just for children, anyone can can go in and build their dream stuffy. There are lots of customization options. My kid seems to have found his forever toy (at least for the next few weeks). Each creation gets a nice, authentic,l birth certificate too!
