Build-A-Bear successfully lures kids (and parents) in its welcoming storefront and provides ample opportunities to find a fury friend. But of course, shoppers need to accessorize the bear, dog, rabbit, etc. accordingly. As wonderful as this building process might be...it doesn't take long before the cost adds up.
Fortunately, the store is offering an absolutely fantastic deal in the U.S., Canada and U.K. that will save mom and dad a chunk of change at the end of the visit. On July 12, Build-A-Bear will host its first-ever Pay-Your-Age Day, so of course this is cause for celebration. This goes for all animals in the workshop, so that coveted bear that bordered on pricey will now be available at a discount (but this is an in-store only discount).
It's simple: If your tot is 3, you pay $3 for his or her selection. If you have two 3-year-olds, you pay $6. Typically, the animals start at around $10–$12 and can work their way up to $20 or more, so this is a pretty epic offering. Which way to the register?
Be forewarned: Accessories are still priced as usual, according to USA Today, but you can still try to keep puppy's wardrobe to a minimum (wishful thinking, right?). The company's site has listed a few other things to know about this special day, so make sure you take a gander (no, identification is not required and the offer is valid for one stuffed animal per guest). But, most importantly: Shoppers over the age of 18 who will be paying for the new animal will need to enroll in the free Build-A-Bear Bonus Club Rewards program or provide an email address and name in order to redeem this special offer (get the full scoop here).
