Ikea checks out Cork in possible expansion plans

Swedish furniture retail company Ikea is scouting locations in Cork for a new store. The company has opened its first Irish click and collection store in Carrickmines, Dublin, and has confirmed developing an outlet in Cork is part of its national plan.

“The opening of our Ikea Dublin Carrickmines order and collection point is just the first step in our expansion plan in Ireland,” said an Ikea spokesperson.

“We are continuing to explore opportunities outside Dublin, including Cork and other locations.”
