Stores in Broward County, Orlando expected to open this fall
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. -- Home furnishings specialty retailer Ikea is planning to increase its Florida presence with a 353,000-square-foot store in Tampa, its third in the state.
Pending city government approval, construction could begin later this spring, with an opening in summer 2009 at a site currently occupied by buildings at the former Tampa International Center, bordered by 22nd Street, 26th Street, Adamo Drive and the Crosstown Expressway.
The Top 100 Sweden-based chain is working on a store in Sunrise, Fla., in Broward County, and another in Orlando, Fla., both set to open this fall.
The Tampa store will be built on 29 acres and feature Ikea's typical 10,000 items, 50 room settings, three model homes, a supervised children's play area, a restaurant and 1,700 parking spaces.
Ikea Director of Real Estate David Iemolo said the Tampa store would be "more convenient to existing customers while also introducing the unique Ikea family-friendly shopping experience to new Tampa Bay and Sun Coast shoppers."
