( 1 ) | Description of Business and Basis of Preparation
Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a specialty retailer of plush animals and related products. The Company began operations in October 1997. The Company sells its products through its 373 corporately-managed locations operated primarily in leased mall locations in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, China, Denmark, Ireland, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) along with its e-commerce sites. With the exception of China, operations in foreign countries where the Company does not have corporately-managed locations are through franchise agreements. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Certain amounts in prior fiscal periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation with no impact to the consolidated statement of operations (e.g. store preopening is included within selling, general and administrative and store impairment is disclosed separately from cost of merchandise sold —retail).
