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
372
 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 and comprehensive income (loss) (e.g., store preopening is included within selling, general and administrative and store impairment is disclosed separately from cost of merchandise sold —retail).
