Description: BBW Build-A-Bear Workshop January 26, 2026
Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE: BBW) is a multi-channel retailer of customizable plush toys and related accessories, operating under the Build-A-Bear brand in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and other international markets. The business is organized into three segments: Direct-to-Consumer (company-owned stores and e-commerce), Commercial (sales to third-party retailers and licensing partners), and International Franchising (franchise-owned stores abroad). Its product mix includes DIY-stuffable plush animals, pre-stuffed toys, add-on sounds and scents, apparel, footwear, and novelty items such as family sleepwear.
For fiscal 2023, BBW generated $1.02 billion in revenue, a 4.3 % increase YoY, driven primarily by a 5 % rise in comparable-store sales and a 30 % share of total sales coming from e-commerce channels. The International Franchising segment posted a 12 % revenue growth year-over-year, reflecting new store openings in the UK and Canada. Operating margin improved to 7.1 % as the company trimmed SG&A expenses and leveraged higher online traffic.
Key macro drivers for the specialty-retail segment include easing inflation (U.S. CPI annual rate fell to 3.1 % in Q4 2023) and a rebound in consumer confidence (U.S. Consumer Confidence Index at 102 in May 2024), which together support discretionary spending on children’s entertainment and gifting. However, lingering supply-chain constraints in plush-fabric sourcing remain a risk to cost margins.
