FAO Schwarz's Pointe Orlando store, on International Drive, featured the retailer's signature giant teddy bear as an exterior landmark alongside a life-size Raggedy Ann doll. The store opened August 2, 1997 and closed in 2004; the giant bear no longer stands, as the store itself closed (FAO Schwarz later returned to Orlando at a different mall).
