Build-A-Bear Workshop & Storage Solutions

Build-A-Bear Workshop® wanted to enhance their distribution capability to support the future growth of their business. They built their first company-owned Bearhouse distribution center near Columbus, Ohio to meet this need.

Storage Solutions worked closely with Build-A-Bear Workshop and Kurt Salmon Associates to get the Bearhouse up and running on time, even with unpredictable winter weather.

“Our new state-of-the-art distribution center allows us to not only improve inventory control and management, realize greater efficiencies and reduce operating costs, but also has been designed to accommodate projected growth well into the future. Storage Solutions provided a warehouse configuration that can change and grow as we do.” said Build-A-Bear Workshop Director Bearhouse Operations, Aaron Wilcox.

“Storage Solutions was a true partner, not just a vendor,” explains Sean Whitehouse of Kurt Salmon Associates. “They delivered outstanding customer service at a very competitive price. During the planning phase, they provided innovative suggestions to fine tune the material handling equipment configuration and keep costs down.”
