Whether you're furnishing a new home, reorganizing a space you've lived in for decades, or just stopping in for a warm plate of Swedish meatballs, IKEA has long been a favorite for practical design at affordable prices.
Known for its flat-pack furniture, clever storage solutions, and cozy café offerings, the retailer has made shopping feel like a day out.
Now, IKEA is making that experience even more accessible with a new wave of store openings across the US.
From full-size showrooms to convenient pick-up locations, the expansion means more shoppers—especially those who enjoy thoughtful home updates—will have easier access to what IKEA has to offer.
IKEA has seen growing interest from Americans who want affordable, functional solutions for their homes—especially as more people focus on downsizing, organizing, or refreshing their space.
After opening five new stores in 2024, the company plans to open six more by the end of 2025 and at least two additional large-format stores in 2026.
As of the end of 2024, IKEA operated 51 full-size stores, 10 Plan and Order points, and 39 pick-up locations.
Each format offers something different for shoppers—so here’s a quick overview of what to expect.

What’s new at IKEA?
IKEA’s latest updates go beyond just new addresses.
The company is also introducing new services designed to make shopping easier:
Yes—the meatballs are coming too
Any visit to IKEA often includes a stop at the restaurant.
The new large-format stores will include the full food experience: Swedish meatballs, salmon plates, Daim cake, cinnamon buns, and more.
It’s a small treat that makes the trip more enjoyable, whether you're shopping solo or spending the day with family.
Why this matters to older shoppers
IKEA’s growth brings more convenience to shoppers of all ages—but especially to those over 60 who may be downsizing, helping family members furnish a new space, or working on home improvement projects.
The new Plan and Order points, in particular, offer a simpler experience: you can meet with a staff member, plan out what you need, and place an order—all without needing to walk through an entire store.
Many of these locations also serve as pick-up sites, making it easy to get your items without waiting for delivery.
If your town isn’t on the list just yet, don’t worry—more announcements may be coming.
IKEA is continuing to invest in US growth, and that could mean additional locations in the years ahead!

A look at IKEA’s store formats
- Large-format stores are the classic IKEAs: big spaces with full showrooms, marketplaces, restaurants, and plenty of room to explore and shop.
- Plan and Order points are smaller locations that offer one-on-one help with bigger projects like kitchens, bathrooms, or storage solutions. These are great if you want personalized service without navigating a large store.
- Pick-up points let you retrieve online or in-store orders conveniently—ideal if you prefer a quick stop over a full shopping trip.
