About euroSource LLC
Company Bio
euroSource was founded March of 1999 in the community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. Originally operated by two
stay-at-home dads, it was a natural mix of entreprenurial spirit and child rearing, teaching, cooking, ... But children grow,
parents age, and things change. Now euroSource LLC is operated by the original founder and his family.
euroSource was born when I wanted to purchase some European toys for my young child but couldn't locate a source
in the USA. What I did locate was an importer in New York who would sell me cases of toys, but not individual toys. Well,
when life serves you lemons - make lemonade! And in this case, the lemons were cases of toys and making lemonade was
parlaying my engineering and networks expertise towards building an e-commerce venture to sell the toys. Hey, if I wanted to buy them,
then certainly others did too!
The internet (and especially e-comerce) was young then. Seeing that original web site is nearly embarassing - except
when taken in context of all the rest of the sites in 1999. At the start euroSource worked with a single importer and
used the web site (www.euroToyShop.com) to move toys from them to you. Now, there are many suppliers in Europe and the web site still moves the
toys to you, the consumer.
I must admit that selling European toys has distracted me from providing other types of products. There is plenty of
breadth to European toys to keep one busy - especially when those produced in China start to loose favor. But, time marches
on, European style remains in vogue, and maybe one of the boys can push this envelope further.

Customer Quotes
The rhino watermark is a super way to let customers know why certain toys aren't available because of the CPSIA.
