West Des Moines, Iowa (KCCI) –  Owners of Danish toy company Lego say they’re opening Iowa’s first Lego store next year. It’ll be inside West Des Moines’ Jordan Creek Town Center, near the Lululemon store. Currently, the closest one is at the Mall of America in Minnesota. Iowa’s location should be ready for shoppers sometime in the second half of 2024.

Headquartered in Billund, Denmark, Lego has factories on three continents, including what it says is a new carbon-neutral factory in Vietnam. There are plans for another carbon-neutral factory in Richmond, Virginia.

Lego was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, and its name is derived from the Danish words “leg godt,” or “play well.” The company opened 155 stores worldwide in 2022 and now has more than 900 locations across more than 130 countries.
