Ikea has unveiled its first store to open in the U.S. with a smaller format.
Located at the Rego Center shopping mall in Queens, New York, the store offers a full range of products across 115,000 sq. ft. of space (about half the size of an average Ikea). The products and featured room sets are designed to meet the lifestyle of New Yorkers, with a focus on small-space living solutions.
The new Ikea offers thousands of items that customers can purchase on-site and take home. The larger furniture items on display can be ordered for home delivery at a flat-rate fee of $49 for anywhere in New York City. Shoppers can use self-pay and assisted-checkout options and schedule appointments with Ikea associates to map out kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms.
