Funny request, is the BearFactory still open?

S@njay · 30 Sep 2006 at 12:11

I went to watford yesterday and found that the bearfactory shop in the Harlequin shopping center has closed down

I then tried going onto thier website www.bearfactory.co.uk which is now unavailable

Has the bear factory now closed down nationally? Or does anyone know of any bearfactory stores around their local area still open.

(bearfactory not to be confused with bear workshop!)

They've changed their name to something else, can't remember what the new name is though

edit/ now called Build a Bear Workshop - http://www.buildabear.com/

Our Bear Factory at the MetroCentre recently had a refurb including new Bear Workshop singage.

I assumed it was the same thing

You can make your own bear, as long as you go through theatre with it.

Am I the only one who thought the title said BeerFactory?

Asking if the beer factory is closed would be as pointless as asking if google is down.

They'd never let it happen for fear of the chaos that would ensue.
