Good news for Ikea fans—your favorite spot for budget-friendly furniture, Swedish meatballs, and endless home inspiration is getting closer. The Swedish retailer has announced plans to open eight new stores across the U.S. this spring and summer, with locations set to pop up in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and California, among others.

This expansion is part of Ikea’s ongoing investment in the U.S. market, aiming to make its products more accessible to customers who don’t live near a full-size store. Whether you’re in the market for a Billy bookcase or a Frakta bag or just want an excuse to wander through a showroom, there’s a good chance an Ikea will be opening near you soon.

While the company hasn’t released the exact opening dates yet, we know that the upcoming stores will be spread across various states, making it easier for more Americans to shop in person. Three confirmed states are Pennsylvania, Maryland, and California, but more details on specific cities are expected soon.

This expansion isn’t just about increasing store count. Ikea is also rolling out different store formats to fit customers’ needs better. Alongside their traditional warehouse-style stores, they’re introducing smaller-format locations in urban areas, designed to offer a more tailored shopping experience.

“Our strategy continues to prioritize our customer’s needs, and in FY24, we continued to make everyday living more accessible, especially during a time when we know economic challenges are leading to a decrease in disposable income for many Americans,” said Javier Quiñones, CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer in an official press release. “As we gear up for the 40th anniversary of Ikea U.S. in 2025, we’re committed to reaching even more customers where they are.”

Ikea’s new locations won’t all follow the same blueprint. Instead, they’re mixing things up with different store types:

• Full-size Ikea stores: Your classic Ikea experience with a full showroom, warehouse, and restaurant.
• Plan & order points: Smaller urban locations focused on kitchen, bedroom, and home organization design help.
• Pick-up points: Shoppers can pick up their online orders without waiting for delivery.

Ikea hopes to make shopping more convenient by offering a mix of formats, especially for those in big cities with limited space.

Ikea’s big investment

This wave of openings is part of a $2 billion investment Ikea announced for its U.S. operations last year, aiming to modernize stores, improve delivery options, and increase accessibility. The company sees plenty of opportunity in the American market, and with growing demand for affordable, stylish home furnishings, the timing couldn’t be better.

So, whether you’re dreaming of a home makeover or craving an extra hex key, get ready—your next Ikea trip might be just around the corner.
