@Budwatch My dad used to get them for me when I was little :) I was born in Burlington.

CeeEmmz, I believe Vermont Teddy Bear Factory is the only real factory that makes Bears in the US. (Build-A-Bear operates retail stores, but not an actual factory.)

[CeeEmmz]

just wondering thats the difference of this factory and build a bear factory?

[HikaruHigurashiWSW]

@CeeEmmz Simple. Build-A-Bear copied Vermont Teddy Bear factory, took out the love, and lowered the prices. Vermont Teddy Bear factory is much older, and was the first. Even to this day, VTBF is the only company that makes teddy bears in America, meaning they're local and not from, say, China. VTBF also does the pick stuffing, velvet heart, clothes, and brushing of the bear, but Build-A-Bear, like I said, ripped them off. Its an actual company, unlike Build-A-Bear which is usually just a store.
