Radio Flyer Store Manager

Radio Flyer is known for our iconic little red wagon, and we are always dreaming up FUNomenal new ways to deliver joy to families by introducing new products every year. Radio Flyer is a recognized leader in the toy industry, with our corporate headquarters located in Chicago. From wagons and tricycles to battery powered eBikes, Go-Karts and Tesla ride-ons, our Chicago-based team innovates in every product category we enter. We are excited to announce our newest venture into retail at the Radio Flyer Store located in Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL.

For over a century, Radio Flyer has served as the first set of wheels for generations of kids. We have helped inspire creative play as wagons transformed into rocket ships, race cars and airplanes, transporting children anywhere they imagined. Now, with over a billion Radio Flyer wheels on the road, we have introduced a retail experience that aligns with our mission to bring smiles to kids of all ages. A place to experience firsthand the magic of our products, including our newest line of FLYER™ eBikes and scooters.

The Radio Flyer Store provides the ultimate brand experience with unique play spaces for kids of all ages to try products like Go-Karts and Scooters on our specially designed Race Track, as well as a free FLYER™ eBike test ride experience. Customers can utilize our friendly-staffed Service Center to assemble new Radio Flyer and FLYER™ products. Not to mention, The Radio Flyer Store visitors can get their hands on exclusive products, available only in-store. We are excited for our fans to interact with our brand like never before at the Radio Flyer Store!
