Isn't it the coolest store ever! Where is your IKEA store at? Mine is in Frisco, Texas USA!
-
If I remember correct...
The basement at the Park Lane Hotel (or is it the building next to it?)
Causeway Bay
Hong Kong.
Lots of cool stuff there, although I rarely actually shop!
-
Everything is so cheap too. Cheap, but very good quality!
-
My wife and oldest daughter are OBSESSED with that place.......
(Schamburg,IL) I usually truck over to the University of Phoenix parking deck next door, and see if I can see anything at O'Hare though.
-
I would have to split the time up. IKEA/O'Hare Spotting! 50%/50% We have tons of furniture from there.

The spotting works when there is good weather, and if I remember either the long lens for the Pentax or a Scope.....

I think their buildings look cool too. Maybe just because my two favorite colors.

IKEA is actually right across the street from Woodfield Mall, and 53/290. ORD is 10 to 15 miles or so to the South East.

I actually go to the IKEA at Barendrecht (Netherlands) for a 1 euro breakfast, it is on my way to work at the moment so :P

There is an Ikea away to get built in my home town. Shall have to try it out :D
-
Funny to see what people at the AM forums are talking about. :lol:
I have three IKEA shops in the closer surroundings - all three of them within a 30-45 minute drive (two in Hanover and one in Brunswick, Germany). Have visited all of them many times this years. Guess why? Right, I am married :lol:
-
Yes is funny but now iv read the forum and now Ikea is a must visit! :D .
-
In Seattle Metro area their are 4-5 Ikeas.....
I like the shop, but I remember when alot of time when we were supposed to be their for 30 minutes and it turned into 4 hours..... :x
But they always have good food/drinks and the names of the products are sometimes amusing.

-

I think it will just be a small IKEA bulit in my nabour hood. It will be in compotition with Lidl who also have weird products :P

To all those in the US, you all suck. Denver needs an IKEA! :x I've been to the ones in Schaumburg and Houston, as well as a few in Sweden. One opened recently in my wife's hometown, so I'm sure I'll be going there a few times while I'm here.
On another random note, Ingvar Kamprad has a very modest summer house a few kilometres from my in-law's summer house. The last summer I was here (2006), he spent a few weeks roaming the forests picking blueberries.

Lidl does not really compete with IKEA. Lidl is mainly a supermarket while IKEA is a furniture market plus everything you need for decoration (is that an english word? :roll: ) and your kitchen (knives, forks, dishes, etc.). They also sell swedish food in a very small corner. Here in Germany they also have a restaurant where it is pretty cheap to eat. But I guess they keep there store looking almost the same in all countries.

@pseudoswede: How big are the ones in Sweden?
-
The ones in Sweden are pretty big, but nothing like the one in Schaumburg (which I believe is one of the largest in the world).

Just down the road, I pop in sometimes when I go to Sportsworld.

IKEA is considered a very fancy store worldwide, except in Sweden where it has been seen a bit cheap to shop at. I have always liked IKEA and their affordable designer furniture. They have also been accused (rightfully I think) of stealing designs, but now it's often the other way around.
IKEA's in Sweden are rather big, but nothing compared to abroad, on the other hand there are only 9 million of us and we have tons of IKEA's.
I think I read somewhere that IKEA's central warehouse in Almhult Sweden is one of the largesyt in the world, and Ingvar Kamprad was actually richer than Bill Gates 3 years ago, not bad for a small boy with no education...
And this cool photo was on the front page of a magazine last month:
