A NEW IKEA store opened its doors in Merseyside today, Wednesday, December 14.
The new store, based in Aintree Racecourse Retail Park in Liverpool, is one of the Swedish furniture and home improvement giant’s ‘Plan and Order Points’.
Unlike other traditional IKEA stores, the Plan and Order Point is a smaller store dedicated to kitchen and bedroom planning, where customers can visit for home furnishing advice and expertise to help design their ideal space.
The opening comes as part of the retailer’s ongoing transformation to become more accessible and sustainable for customers shopping with IKEA in the Northwest of England.
Michael Parker, Area Manager, IKEA UK, said: “Our investment in Plan & Order Points is part of our long-term plan to transform our retail business, making it easier for people in the Northwest to enjoy what IKEA offers using a variety of convenient ways.
“Our store in nearby Warrington, at home kitchen planning, online interior design and planning services, and now this new Plan and Order Point all complement each other.
“Together with our home delivery service and new, convenient collection options, we’re enabling an IKEA that’s there for our customers, however they want to meet us.”
Despite being smaller than a standard IKEA store, customers can still find inspirational and affordable kitchen and wardrobe solutions.
Customers will find different kitchens to browse, from a complete kitchen, including oven and hob, to a kitchen with fronts featuring a foil made of recycled bottles.
Additionally, IKEA will showcase all its kitchen fronts, worktops and a selection of appliances from the wider range. There’s also a space dedicated to the PAX wardrobe system, with doors, interior organisers, and knobs and handles to help customers build their dream storage solution.
Customers can book an appointment, free of charge, to start their design journey with one of IKEA’s planning specialists or use the handy in-store self-service tools to design their own solution.
Co-workers will also be on hand to help customers order products from the full IKEA range, for delivery direct to the customer’s home or nearest collection point.
