Ikea is to open a pop-up store in Northern Ireland, its second in the country and fourteenth store or collection facility on the island of Ireland.
The 2,690sqft unit will open on 13 November at The Boulevard, Banbridge.
Some 150 home furnishing accessories – including kitchen, bedroom, and living room essentials – will be available for purchase, along with planning advice. It will also host the chain’s fifth Collect Near You unit in Northen Ireland.
‘We are excited to welcome customers to our first pop-up in Northern Ireland. This is not only an opportunity to meet new customers where they are but also a chance to make Ikea even more accessible. The addition of our Collect Near You point at The Boulevard is also an exciting step toward making it even easier for customers to shop with us, allowing them to order from our entire range online and conveniently collect their purchases nearby,’ says Michaela Quinlan, Ikea Belfast market manager.
‘The addition of a global brand like Ikea not only enhances the retail experience for our visitors but also reinforces The Boulevard as a dynamic destination for shopping. We’re confident this arrival will be hugely popular with our loyal customers and visitors from across the region, especially the busy Belfast-to-Dublin corridor,’ says Paul McCann, Lotus Property [The Boulevard owner], asset manager.
