U.S. Toy / Constructive Playthings, since 1953, a third-generation family-owned manufacturer and distributor of playthings that are both educational and fun, has announced two new appointments to its executive team.
LEAWOOD, Kan. -- U.S. Toy is a third-generation toy store, headquartered in Grandview. And it's been a destination for generations of children in the metro and Midwest. It hopes to stay that way by changing.
For over 40 years U.S. Toy has been making children’s dreams come true. A small, family-run business, today they’re fighting to survive against the Goliath that is Amazon. As part of that battle they’re relocating to a new facility at 119th Street and Metcalf, taking over the old Office Max location.
US Toy got it's start in 1953 out of Elvin Kline and Frances Gershon's living room at their home off of Troost.
After 40 years on State Line Road, U.S. Toy is relocating business operations from its longtime home in Leawood.
