'Build-A-Bear Workshop’s Pay Your Age Day event generated an overwhelming response, resulting in long lines, extensive waits and disappointed Guests,' the company said in a statement. Later on Thursday, Build-A-Bear announced all Build-A-Bear Bonus Club members - both those who waited in lines and those who did not - were eligible to receive a voucher for $15 off at the store. ET, Build-A-Bear said it would not allow any more customers to enter locations, citing 'crowds and safety concerns.' The bears usually cost $20 to $35.īut at 11 a.m. Kids could pay just a few dollars for stuffed bears, while the fee for adults was capped at $29. On Thursday, Build-A-Bear was set to celebrate 'Pay Your Age Day' in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, where customers could purchase a stuffed animal and pay only their age.
