Toy Maker Confirms Timeline For Enfield Exit After Nearly 50 Years
The offices have operated in town since 1975, and remaining employees will be relocated as operations wind down.
ENFIELD, CT — The LEGO Group will close its Enfield offices later this year but plans to maintain a presence in northern Connecticut with a new warehouse facility in Windsor Locks, according to an email confirmation from a company spokesperson.
LEGO has operated offices in Enfield since 1975. The closure follows the company’s previously announced decision to relocate its main U.S. headquarters to Boston, a plan first unveiled in January 2023.
In an email to Patch, a LEGO spokesperson said approximately 350 employees across several teams are still working out of the Enfield location. Some of those roles will transition to LEGO’s Boston headquarters or to its offices in Tempe, Arizona, as operations in Enfield wind down during the second half of 2026. Employees who chose not to relocate have already exited or will exit the company, the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson also confirmed that LEGO has signed a 10-year lease for 106,475 square feet of warehouse space at 30 Hamilton Road in Windsor Locks. About 20 LEGO Group employees are expected to be based at that site beginning in the second half of 2026. The warehouse lease does not alter the company’s plans for the Enfield property, according to the email.
LEGO’s two Connecticut retail stores — at Danbury Fair Mall and Westfarms Mall in West Hartford — will remain open, the spokesperson said.

Nationwide, LEGO employs more than 3,500 people in the United States and more than 31,000 globally. The company expects more than 800 employees to be based at its Boston headquarters and about 180 at its Tempe offices.
The spokesperson added that construction is underway on a new LEGO factory in Chesterfield County, Virginia, along with a regional distribution center in neighboring Prince George County. Those facilities are expected to open next year and eventually create more than 2,000 jobs.
