Conshohocken, Pa. — The application marks the beginning of a process that could lead to the store’s opening as early as summer 2016.
Conshohocken, Pa. — IKEA, a global leader in home furnishings, is submitting plans to Clark County, Nev., for a Las Vegas-area store that would increase the Swedish retailer’s presence in the western United States. The application marks the beginning of the governmental approval process that could lead to the store’s opening as early as summer 2016.
Located approximately 13 miles southwest of downtown Las Vegas, the 351,000-square-foot proposed IKEA store and its nearly 1,300 parking spaces would be built on 26 acres along the northern side of Interstate-215 at Durango Drive, near the intersection with Sunset Road. Store plans reflect the same unique architectural design for which IKEA stores are known worldwide. IKEA also will evaluate potential on-site power generation possibilities to complement its current U.S. renewable energy presence at nearly 90% of its U.S. locations.
“We look forward to continue growing our western U.S. presence with IKEA Las Vegas,” says IKEA U.S. CFO Rob Olson.
Sweden-based IKEA has more than 350 IKEA stores in 44 countries, including 38 in the U.S. For more information, visit IKEA-USA.com.
