Hey gang, it’s time to go and pick out some new friends! Since I’ve met them
all, I can help you decide.
Making Friends is what Teddy Mountain™ Store is all about! With over 60
themed animal friends to choose from, in a wide variety of fabrics, shapes, and
sizes, our customers have such a choice that they very likely will pick 2 new
friends! (and often they do, as we carry 8” up to 17” animals)

WOW . . . now for my favorite part, we get to visit Teddy Mountain™!!!
Interaction and the making of memorable experiences is key to every customer’s
adventure inside Teddy Mountain™ Store. We accomplish this though the use
of functional designed thematic retail fixtures and our fun and interactive
processes. In this instance, we have added interaction in the form of a visit to a
10’ High Mountain to ‘mine’ (mulch) their own fluff! A very interactive feature,
and highlight of any store visit! (it’s also a neat way to keep fluff handy and the
stuffer full throughout the day!)

Customers control and interact throughout the stuffing experience through the
use of interactive foot pedals and our patent pending paddlewheel. Doing it
yourself is a big part of the experience and you can see how it draws attention

friend and play dress up!!!
Customers can try on as many clothes, outfits, and accessories they like! One
lady tried on 3 outfits, couldn’t decide, and bought them all, as they all looked
cute! That’s a nice start to a new wardrobe, and she received a ton of

Hmmm, now that we’ve decided on an outfit, I think I know what I want to
name my new friend . . .

their very own adoption certificate! Our interactive touch screen kiosk allows for
the personalized gift giving option, or for yourself to love and care for. You get
to choose all the wording, names, the backgrounds, and also get your picture
taken right on the certificate! What a keepsake, or a fun seasonal or special
