One of the
biggest names in global retailing, IKEA, has confirmed that its first
store on the island of Ireland will open outside Belfast in December
next.
The
Swedish furniture retailer is opening its 29,000 square foot store on
the outskirts of east Belfast on 13 December.
It will be
one of the group's biggest stores and will carry the full range of
almost 10,000 items.
It will
also have Ireland's largest restaurant, with seating for 560.
There are
plans for a second IKEA store off the M50 in the Ballymun area of
Dublin, but it is unclear when construction of it will begin.
The
company says it is still committed to opening an outlet in the Republic
of Ireland.
