IKEA Expanding in Texas

IKEA U.S. (Conshohocken, Pa.) has unveiled plans for a new, smaller-scale store in Dallas. Slated to open late this year at The Shops at Park Lane, the two-level store will have about 63,000 square feet of space, as compared with about 300,000 square feet at the brand’s traditional sites. The store will stock 3200 items for same-day pickup, including food.

“The opening of IKEA Dallas-University Park is a perfect example of our strategy to develop smaller, more accessible urban store formats, bringing a more connected and accessible IKEA experience to everyone” said Javier Quiñones, CEO & Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA U.S.

This will be the Delft, Netherlands-based retailer’s eleventh store in Texas. Currently, it has five full-sized IKEA stores, three plan-and-order points with pick up, and two new stores opening soon in San Marcos (roughly midway between San Antonio and Austin) and Rockwall (northeast of Dallas).

Overall, the retailer has 375 IKEA stores in 30 countries, including 51 in the U.S.
