Have an old Bear from Burdine's Dept Store. Molly at the Altamonte location was very sweet even though they can't help fix it. She did give some helpful tips though! Giving 4 Stars only because they can't help me save an old 🐻

Everything was cute. I wish it was a real work stop and not just a small area in the middle of the mall. Everything ends up being expensive but my daughter enjoyed her teddy bear and the birth certificate is a cute touch.
