Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:

I have followed Build a Bear
Workshop (BBW) since it first went public in late 2004, and I have owned
it profitably for a brief period after the IPO. However, I had last
sold shares in late 2005 and had lost track of the company during the
past year. BBW first came public around $25 per share and had traded as
high as $37 in the early days, so I was amazed to learn that the stock
had dropped below $11 per share. At those prices, I snapped up 400
shares late last week. BBW is a retail concept with 375 Build a Bear

Workshops worldwide. Parents bring their kids for an
interactive make-your-own stuffed animal experience. My two girls love
the place, and I constantly hear about how long it has been since we
have last been to BBW. They have been branching into other similar
concepts, including make-your-own Major League Baseball mascot
in-stadium locations, Build a Dino stores and a virtual world, www.buildabearville.com.

Earnings were down about 18% in the first
quarter to $0.32 per share, but the drop was less than analysts
expected. For the year, the Company is expected to earn about $1.13 per
share which would be about 10% growth from 2007. However, even if
earnings are flat this year those would be decent results in the face
of this recession..
The real growth for the Company will come internationally as they
currently have 271 stores in the US with a total potential US market of
375-400 stores.
