Build-A-Bear Workshop celebrated the grand re-opening of its newly remodeled store at Tucson Mall on Tuesday with free teddy bears for the first 20 guests.

The remodeled store, 4500 N. Oracle Road, has an updated layout, color palette and logo. It also features a 7-foot-tall stuffer prominently placed at the center of the store.

Build-A-Bear Workshop has approximately 400 stores worldwide where guests can create customizable stuffed animals. The Build-A-Bear brand refresh began in 2015 and is ongoing.

The retailer also donated 20 bears to a local Boys & Girls Club as part of the grand re-opening.

Build-A-Bear Workshop is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m, and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
