A new development with Ikea

New IKEA approach - apparently on the news today.......


Commenting on the plans, IKEA's Property Manager, Scott Cordrey, stated:

"IKEA recognises that many people have to travel long distances in order to shop with us. Our ambition is to come closer to our market and, to achieve this, we intend to double the number of stores we currently have in the UK over the next five years.

Our site searches are now focused on town centre /edge of centre locations where IKEA can anchor regeneration by linking town centre shopping to a visit to our store.
This means a more flexible IKEA approach with stores built on much smaller sites, of compact design, with elevational details that respect the urban environment where we shall be trading.

Coventry is our first example of this new flexibility in a city centre location”

So maybe there is hope for Oxford after all?????

I know! How awesome would that be???!!! I know you can order from stores for delivery already - but I gather delivery is rather expensive - hopefully a web delivery service would be more competitively priced!!

Can't wait!!!!
