NEW YORK–Ikea will make its New York City debut with a store in Brooklyn on June 18.
The 346,000-square-foot store is located at 1 Beard St. in the Red Hook waterfront area. It will feature 46 room settings and a 450-seat restaurant.
“We expect it to be one of our high-volume stores,” said Joe Roth, an Ikea spokesman.
The retailer is kicking off a major advertising campaign for the store developed by Deutsch New York. It will reflect common traits between Ikea and the Big Apple.
