This depends entirely on how much money you have to waste.
I'd suggest, at the very least:
* Hiring somebody who knows manufacturing to walk you through what you need to set this up.
* Figuring out the cost of building a toaster in the USA
* Figuring out the regulatory hurdles.
* Figuring out if the people who keep clamoring for a national toaster infrastructure are willing to pay the actual money that requires.
My experience is that a large number of people who profess to want built-in-USA want this only at a price point meeting current toasters. But with much better quality.
If I were to jump into this market, I'd seriously consider running this as a lifestyle luxury item business, charging the few true believers a fortune for a "bespoke toaster hand-made entirely in the U.S.A", build them to last forever, and then maybe automate and build out into the mid-range from there.
I'd still only do this with somebody with manufacturing knowledge working with/for me. And ideally with somebody else's money.
