IKEA bringing new store format to Southlake

A new IKEA shopping experience is coming to Southlake.

The Netherlands-based home store announced it plans to open a new store concept in Southlake in late 2023, according to a news release. Called a Plan & Order point with Pick-up, the store will be smaller and dedicated to kitchen, bedroom and living room planning. Customers will get home furnishing advice from IKEA design specialists, the release stated.

While the store will not hold products to buy, customers can order items to be delivered to their home or picked up from the store.

“We’re excited to grow our presence and offer a new IKEA experience to our DFW area customers with convenience and accessibility in mind,” said Javier Quiñones, CEO and chief sustainability officer of IKEA U.S., in the release. “Whether you’re looking for inspiration, need help from an IKEA design specialist or simply want to pick up an online order, the IKEA Southlake Plan & Order point with Pick-up meets our customers where they are and how they like to shop.”

The store will be located in the Park Village shopping center at 1041 E. Southlake Blvd., Stes. 100 and 110, the release stated. IKEA Southlake will join the two large-format stores in Dallas-Fort Worth with locations in Grand Prairie and Frisco.

“Everything is bigger in Texas, but it doesn’t have to be further,” said Rob Parsons, market area manager of IKEA U.S., in the release. “We are so excited to open IKEA Southlake and get closer to our D-FW customers. While the Plan & Order point with Pick-up is different from our traditional IKEA store, we are continuously exploring new ways to bring IKEA closer to our customers and hope it will better meet the needs of our local customers.”
