The Round Rock location of IKEA, a Swedish furniture retailer, is celebrating 20 years of operation in November.

In a nutshell

Marketing manager Keena Garcia said the Round Rock store was the first IKEA in Central Texas.

IKEA offers a variety of homewares, furniture, decor and international foods, including the Swedish meatballs served in its in-store restaurant.

She said when the retailer opened on Nov. 15, 2006, it was one of the first in the developing University Boulevard corridor, which was then known as Chandler Road.

“Seeing our coworkers and community grow together is pretty amazing,” IKEA marketing lead Natasha Vaughan-Johnson said.

What else?

The store will hold celebrations Nov. 14-15 to mark the milestone anniversary, with discounts available on specific merchandise. The first 100 loyalty program members who arrive between 10 a.m. and noon will also receive a special gift, Vaughan-Johnson said.
