TERRYBEAR
MEMORIALS
THE TEDDY BEAR
It all started with a teddy bear and a van. In 1986, our founder, Terry, was selling stuffed animals on a Minneapolis street corner.
When the Minnesota Twins reached the World Series in 1987, Terry saw an opportunity and expanded, offering Twins t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and Homer Hankies.
As the Twins won on the field, Terry won on the street corners, garnering enough success to launch his street business into a corporation and expand into new areas.
HOME DECOR
After sharing in the success of the Minnesota Twins World Series win, the business grew from stuffed animals into home décor, giftware, framed artwork, and brass handicrafts, one of which is responsible for propelling Terrybear into its next phase of business.
THE GINGER JAR
After a while, our growing team at Terrybear discovered that a customer of one of our brass products had begun using it as a pet cremation urn.
The lightbulb ticked on, and we leaned into the idea, designing more pet memorials and urns for the funeral industry.
