BuildABearville.com, the virtual world for the Build-A-Bear Workshop, is set to hit one million unique monthly visitors by the end of January, according to the company. “We are thrilled that so many Guests have visited buildabearville.com,” said Maxine Clark, founder and chief executive bear of Build-A-Bear Workshop. “Our virtual world experience extends the emotional bond that is created when a Guest makes a new furry friend. Guests are able to bring their new friend to life online and continue to play and grow the friendship that begins in our store.”
The site launched only last month, on December 11, but the company is already planning new additions and features. After children make a bear (the company prefers to avoid the verb "build"), they can take their furry friend online and earn Bear Bills to purchase new items for their Cub Condos. Beginning in February, members of the Stuff Fur Stuff will also earn Bear Bills for in-store purchases.
The company is also planning themed months, for example, dedicating March to good citizenship and April to the environment.
"During the upcoming months we will be adding new features, planning community events to support causes encouraged by our Guests and cele-bear-ating holidays in our virtual world,” said Melanie McClure, interactive community event bear for buildabearville.com.
A Wonderful shop. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves choosing and making our bear. The staff obviously enjoyed their job as they were so helpful and happy. We loved the knickers being called "underbear"! We wish there were more shops like yours.

hello,
i love buildabearville (BABV) it's the best website i like but i was one of the first people to get a buildabear and i know that buildabear was not full at all till about two weeks later the whole thing was full i made new friends because when i was on there were two or three people online in America. all my friends here in America love it and i think it's a good opatunity to make new friends in other Countrys. i have some friends over in Engaland which is totaly far from America (Home town)
i love it when new people come online.
thank you.
