According to the Boston Business Journal which cites “several real estate sources”, Hasbro may be looking to move away from their current HQ in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and has recently toured multiple Boston office buildings.
In a statement to WBZ-TV, Hasbro did not confirm or deny that it is weighing a move to Boston.
“As Hasbro continues to evolve, we’re exploring options for our global headquarters to make sure it is a space that can best serve our employees, partners, and business needs for years to come,” chief communications officer Bertie Thomson said. “We’re taking our time, evaluating all options that can best support our team’s creativity and innovation, and will share updates on our progress. Regardless of the outcome and location, we remain committed to our history – not leaving it behind, but building on it.”
The company has previously stated that it would not renew its lease on its office in Providence and workers would be moved to the headquarters in Pawtucket. We will be watching this story with interest over the coming months.
