When will IKEA open in Tampa, Fl?

If you are like me and love contemporary furniture you won’t want to miss the new IKEA store opening in Tampa. Their furnishings are inexpensive and perfect for the urban lofty style that fits into the Channelside and Downtown Tampa areas.
 Välkommen, IKEA!   By GARY SHEPHERD
Some people call Ikea the biggest retail deal ever for the Tampa Bay region.  Some fans say they’ll camp outside Ikea’s bright blue and yellow building 48 hours in advance to await the grand opening.  And some folks can’t wait to sample yummy Swedish meatballs served in the restaurant inside the massive 353,000-square-foot store.

Anyway you look at it, the Ikea store slated to open 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 6 east of downtown Tampa has created a huge buzz.  About 75 people attended a recent Tampa Electric Co./Tampa Downtown Partnership “debriefing” to learn more about Ikea’s local plans, as described by spokesman Joseph Roth.

 Among the facts:Victory Lofts Master Suite

The store at Adamo Drive and 22nd Street will employee 400 people and have about 10,000 home furnishing items on site.

 Built on 29 acres, the building rose in near record time, it has 1,700 parking spaces and 600 trees, and the job employed 500 construction workers.

The largest Ikea store in Florida is the 37th in the U.S., with 49 room settings, a 300-seat restaurant, and three model room interiors.

The build-it-yourself furniture retailer, even before it opened, had a Tampa area fan base of some 100,000 households, according to Ikea’s catalogue database.  And that popularity is worldwide, Roth noted – he said the company’s catalogue is the most widely distributed free publication in the world.
