Lakeshore listened.

Posted on 7:02 PM by Unknown
Tucker received a set of wooden Lakeshore Store Doors from Santa.  He set to work building a shopping center using blocks and street signs and then made his Lakeshore Block Play People act as customers.  He's been partial to the little girl in the wheelchair for a few years now and seemed a little disappointed that she didn't fit through the Toy Store door.  Andy quickly redirected him, and they built an alternate entrance with a wheelchair ramp.  But his short-lived frustration prompted me to write a quick note to Lakeshore Learning Materials to let them know about what we'd discovered.
Less than a week ago I sent that note, a simple suggestion to their customer service department, and today we were on the phone with someone in California who said the president had met with the research and development team and wider store doors were already in the manufacturing process.
