SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Home-furnishings retailer IKEA has set the grand opening of its store at Destiny USA in Syracuse for Nov. 21.
Destiny USA had announced IKEA’s upcoming arrival back on July 8.
The new store will bring “affordable, well-designed” home furnishings and a Swedish-inspired shopping experience, the company said in its announcement.
“As we continue to grow in the U.S., we’re thrilled to bring the IKEA experience to the community in Central New York,” Javier Quiñones, CEO and chief sustainability officer of IKEA U.S., said. “IKEA Syracuse reflects our commitment to meeting customers where they are, and offering smart, affordable solutions that make everyday life better.”
Destiny USA says IKEA chose to open a location in the shopping center “because of the center’s exceptional accessibility, high traffic, and powerful regional draw.”
The 70,000-square-foot store features 3,000 products available for immediate takeaway, about 75 small-furniture items, and an IKEA Restaurant serving specialties such as Swedish meatballs.
“We’re excited to celebrate the opening of IKEA Syracuse with the Central New York community,” John Spence, unit manager at IKEA Syracuse, said in the announcement. “Whether you’re looking to furnish your first apartment, upgrade your kitchen or simply enjoy some Swedish meatballs, we can’t wait to welcome you to the IKEA family.”
The grand-opening event will begin at 9:45 a.m. on Nov. 21 and customers can begin lining up that morning at 7 a.m. Regular store hours will be Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m.-9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
