Build A Bear Workshop

Really enjoyed having my 4year old daughters birthday at Build a Bear. They kids had a great time! It was a little overwhelming with all the accessories you have to chose from but the kids did not mind! My daughter is already asking to go back!

Well… we finally got my girlfriend the Sanrio Tropical Hello Kitty doll that she’s been wanting for a while now.
I can tell you that the service while we were there was fantastic (even though I could see an issue with the staffing).
The girl that took care of us was friendly and made us do all the cheesy (but cute) stuff that they’d have any child do when making their own doll.
The store is laid out very well to help you find whatever accessories you’re looking for (we were looking for the Jedi outfit).
Surprisingly, this location and all other Build-​A-​Bear Workshops have restrooms (probably for private parties). But, the door is usually open so I can imagine that it’s for public use if needed.
Now to the only bad about this (and probably other locations)…
Due to the long process that the associates are required to do during checkout, it can be a very long wait just to purchase your new stuffed friend.
It seems like they combat this by having two associates working on the same shift, but one of the associates (we were told it was the manager) went on break while we were in line. Since there was 4 people doing separate purchases, the girl (and only associate available) was tied up at the register while another customer was waiting a long time for their stuffed animal to be assembled.
I really wish they could streamline this process a little better (and did they just ask me to donate to two different causes at checkout??).
Anyhow, besides that last issue I can say that the service is top notch and will likely come back when my girlfriend is craving the next cutest thing
P. S. (BABW, please make a Sackboy –Little Big Planet game– doll, we would buy two. I swear.) :D
