profitability;  we may be unable to realize the  anticipated  benefits  from our
company-owned  distribution  center;  fluctuations  in our quarterly  results of
operations could cause the price of our common stock to  substantially  decline;
we may fail to renew,  register or  otherwise  protect our  trademarks  or other
intellectual  property;  we may have disputes with, or be sued by, third parties
for infringement or  misappropriation  of their  proprietary  rights;  we may be

   Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. Announces It is Evaluating Strategic
        Alternatives for Enhancing Long-Term Shareholder Value


    ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2007--Build-A-Bear Workshop,
Inc. (NYSE: BBW), an interactive, entertainment retailer of customized
stuffed animals, announced today that the company has retained Lehman
Brothers to assist it and the board of directors in an analysis and
consideration of a broad range of potential strategic alternatives to
enhance long-term shareholder value.

    "We believe that through our highly profitable business model and
unique retail-entertainment concept we will continue to grow total
revenues, increase net income, and generate excess cash flow", said
Maxine Clark, chairman and chief executive bear. "Our future success
and the drivers of our future growth will continue to be to implement
our strategy of expanding our North American store base to at least
350 stores, building our European store base to approximately 120
stores, growing our international franchising operations to
approximately 300 stores, developing and growing our existing
portfolio of new concepts and brand extensions, and investing in our
interactive website. That said, we also believe that we have an
obligation to shareholders to consider a broad range of potential
strategic alternatives that could further enhance shareholder value.
During this evaluation process, we will continue to remain focused on
business as usual for all operations of our company and on executing
our plans."

    There is no assurance that this process will result in any changes
to the company's current business plans or lead to any specific action
or transaction. However, while the process is underway, the company
does not expect to disclose further developments regarding the process
until the Board's review of strategic alternatives has been completed.
Also, during the process, the company will not provide any new
earnings guidance, nor will the company update or comment further upon
the earnings guidance previously provided.

    Build-A-Bear Workshop plans to release financial results for the
second quarter on Thursday, July 26, 2007, before the opening of
trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
