Build-A-Bear Workshop to Open Shop at Orlando International Airport in Mid-May
Build-A-Bear Workshop® has announced plans to open a store at Orlando International Airport (MCO) in mid-May, the first of its stores to open inside an airport. To be located inside the airport’s main terminal building, the store will offer the full Build-A-Bear experience found elsewhere, allowing guests to select and stuff a furry friend and dress it as they wish.
“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 store will also offer Build-A-Bear Workshop Craftshop items that are designed to keep young ones busy during their travel, such as stickers, activity books, coloring books and make-your-own card kits.
“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.
Although no official word has been provided to us thus as of yet, given that the new store location lends itself easy access to millions of Walt Disney World visitors per year, it’s likely that the store will carry certain limited release Disney merchandise, such as the new Disney Villains line, which would otherwise be available in the Orlando area only at the Florida Mall location. Although Build-A-Bear Workshop does have a location in the Downtown Disney District area at the Disneyland Resort, its only presence on Walt Disney World property is a Build-A-Dino location at the T-Rex Cafe, which does not offer location exclusive merchandise.

ABC Family and Build-A-Bear Workshop Buddy up for New Family Holiday TV Classic, Events
BURBANK, Calif. (Oct. 15, 2009) – ABC Family and Build-A-Bear Workshop® are coming together to create a little holiday “hoofla” this season as the network debuts an animated special that marks the first time in the retailer’s 12-year history that its plush animals are brought to life on television. “Holly and Hal Moose: Our Uplifting Christmas Adventure,” a one-hour feature movie, makes its nationwide premiere on ABC Family on Tuesday, Nov. 24 at 7:00 PM ET/PT (with an encore presentation on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 10 AM ET/PT). The television special is based on a book and series of webisodes that introduced Holly and Hal Moose last year and captured their holiday antics, powerful imaginations and love of adventure.
“Holly and Hal” features Meaghan Martin (“10 Things I Hate About You,” “Camp Rock”) and Jonathan Morgan Heit (“Bedtime Stories”) as the voices of Easton and Weston (respectively), two high-strung elves who monitor the North Pole Weather Center. In addition, an exclusive theme song, “When You Dream,” was created for the movie by Tena Clark, award-winning music producer, song writer and CEO/chief creative officer of DMI Music & Media Solutions.
“Holly and Hal were our first characters to inspire a storybook, and now they’re the first to become movie stars,” said Maxine Clark, founder and chief executive bear of Build-A-Bear Workshop. “The tale of this antlered-sibling duo is meant to inspire people to follow their dreams – no matter how big they seem. It’s a classic holiday adventure that offers families the opportunity to start a new tradition of watching it together each season.”
