Ikea has officially broken ground on a Milwaukee-area store that is slated to open in the summer of 2018 in the town of Oak Creek, WI.
The 291,000-square-foot store is being built on 29 acres at the northwestern corner of Interstate 94 and Drexel Avenue, 12 miles south of downtown Milwaukee.
“This location will help bring the unique Ikea family-friendly shopping experience closer to many Milwaukee-area customers who currently can shop only at Ikea stores elsewhere or online,” said Lars Petersson, Ikea U.S. president. “The store also will attract new customers from throughout Wisconsin who value good design, good function and affordable prices but have not had a chance yet to shop at Ikea.”
Ikea operates about 390 stores in 48 countries, including 44 in the U.S.
