Tempe Arizona Welcomes LEGO® Consumer Engagement Team

The desert has a new toy in town. The LEGO Group just opened a massive new Consumer and Shopper Engagement hub in Tempe, Arizona, and it’s not just another corporate box in the Phoenix suburbs. It’s a colorful workspace built to handle one of the trickiest jobs in the LEGO® empire: keeping millions of fans happy.

This is where the emails, calls, and oddly heartwarming fan mail end up. Yes, the same people who troubleshoot your missing LEGO® brick or respond to your child’s sketch of a minifigure are now working from a building filled with actual brick-inspired design touches. Think less “cubicle farm,” more “LEGO® playset scaled up to office size.”

Why Tempe and Why Now

Tempe isn’t exactly the first city you imagine when thinking of LEGO® castles or Star Wars™ sets, but that’s the point. The Phoenix metro area is growing fast, talent is plentiful, and flights connect everywhere. Monika Lütke-Daldrup, who leads the CSE operation, put it plainly: the new spot gives the team space to keep pace with America’s endless demand for LEGO® sets and the conversations that orbit them.

The move also plants the Danish brand deeper into US soil. With Tempe joining a network of hubs from Singapore to Germany, the global CSE crew, about 1,000 strong, handles more than four million customer interactions every year. That’s a lot of lost LEGO® Technic beams, birthday shoutouts, and “my dog ate a LEGO® brick” emails.

Fan Mail Never Sleeps

If you thought answering missing piece forms was the main job, think again. In 2024 alone, the team received 19,000 pieces of fan mail. Some people send artwork, others send graduation news, and yes, a few even mailed wedding invitations addressed to LEGO® minifigures. Not every offer could be accepted, but each one got a personal reply.

That’s the hidden part of this office: it’s not just about fixing problems, it’s about reminding fans that LEGO® actually reads their stories. That mix of corporate backbone and childlike imagination is rare, and in Tempe, it’s getting scaled up.

Inside the Brick

The numbers are slick: 42,344 square feet, 168 workstations, three training rooms, and a design scheme that nods both to Arizona and to the classic red, blue, yellow LEGO® bricks you’ve stepped on at least once in your life. Around 150 employees are already settled in, with plans to grow to 180 in the coming months.

This isn’t just another office, it’s a factory for fandom. Every question answered, every missing LEGO® set part shipped, every “thank you” note sent out keeps the brand’s reputation cemented. Or, maybe more fittingly, snapped together.

Final Snap

The truth is simple. You don’t build a 42,000-square-foot office just to answer emails. You build it because you know your fans will never stop asking for more, more answers, more care, more pieces of plastic magic. From Denmark to Arizona, the company is showing the same thing it has always preached: when you build for play, you build for life.

So what do you think? Would you send your wedding invite to LEGO® HQ? Or just ask them to replace that missing LEGO® minifigure head?
