Ikea U.S. announced plans to add four stores, advancing its growth strategy in the United States following what the home furnishings retailer reported as a slight sales decline in 2025.
The Ikea store openings will take place in:
- Culver City, CA, the first of Ikea’s city-center stores in Los Angeles.
- Tulsa, the first Ikea store in Oklahoma.
- Gurnee Mills near Chicago.
- Fort Collins, CO, joining Ikea Centennial and Ikea Colorado Springs in the state.
Previous plans called for Ikea stores in Huntsville, AL, Phoenix, AZ, Chantilly/Dulles, VA, and Houston, as well as a pair in Dallas. Ikea also is entering the Syracuse, NY, market by taking over a former At Home location.
In fiscal 2025, Ikea opened 14 new retail locations in the U.S., including new small-format stores in Arcadia, CA and San Marcos, TX, and nine plan-and-order points in Scottsday, AZ, Portland, OR, Charlotte, NC, Hunt Valley, MD, Cherry Hill, NJ, and Roseville, MN, as well as Ontario, Thousand Oaks and Colma in California.
Ikea stated that despite a tough external environment, including increased inflation and waning consumer confidence, Ikea U.S. reported $5.31 billion in total sales versus $5.55 billion in fiscal 2024. Totals included $1.96 billion in e-commerce, up 6% from fiscal 2024. The company reported welcoming approximately 61 million visitors to its stores and more than 457 million shoppers online. The Ikea Family Rewards program reached a milestone of 25 million members, a 17% year-over-year increase, according to the company.
In announcing the results, Rob Olson, Ikea U.S. interim CEO, said fiscal 2025 “was a year of meaningful connection and growth despite a challenging external environment. We strengthened our ability to serve customers through new store formats, digital innovation and expanded rewards, all while reinforcing our commitment to communities and the environment. Looking ahead to (fiscal year 2026), we will build on this momentum, focusing on continued investment in the U.S. to make Ikea more affordable, accessible and sustainable.”
