They talked about moving before, I wonder if this is a continuance of those plans, or an entirely new one?

IIRC they announced they were moving around the time they were doing all those layoffs at the end of 2024, but not WHERE they were going.
Is Boston cheaper than Rhode Island or what?
Hasbro’s been talking up about moving headquarters even back in Goldner’s day. It got to the point they even took out some offices several years back in Boston, but shuttered them after Cox took over in a cost cutting move. Guess they made the call to make the move after all.
Not necessarily, kind of depends on what kind of incentives the city gave for the move. A big incentive, from what I gather, is that Boston’s status as a high profile center of business and culture makes it a more appealing location for talent and other recruitment efforts. As nice as Providence might be, or Hasbro’s legacy there, Boston carries more cachet with more immediately available resources For a modern multinational company.
Boston must be offering something juicy. LEGO moved their North American headquarters there earlier this year.
