Do we even have room for a second IKEA?
Swedish furniture giant IKEA will add to their Ballymun outlet this summer, having secured a 10-year lease with Irish property group IPUT plc for a store in Carrickmines.
According to The Irish Times, IKEA’s second Dublin store won’t be as big as the first – taking up roughly 15,000 square feet.
The new outlet will be located at The Park in Carrickmines, which already plays home to a Smyths, a PC World, a Halfords and a Hickeys. It is roughly half an hour from the original IKEA via the M50.
It is believed that IKEA will be paying roughly €600,000 a year to rent the premises.
JOE.ie understands that the building is already standing, and that the IKEA workers will not have to assemble it upon the beginning of their lease.
