It's a very "Beanie" Christmas at Black Sheep Sporting Goods in Coeur d'Alene.
Ty Warner recently announced that his company — the maker of Beanie Babies and Beanie Boos — has completed 283 air shipments from China for the holiday season in his effort to battle the supply-chain crisis.
In October, Warner began air-shipping his products into the U.S. for distribution. Once shipped, the toys are delivered to small retailers and to specialty, convenience, grocery and drug stores.
Though his company, Ty Inc., is the largest manufacturer of soft toys in the world, according to a press release.
“The flights will continue. I’m doubling down on what I said two weeks ago: Christmas is not canceled,” Warner said.
