IKEA Canada says it will open a new Plan and order point in Gatineau in 2026, expanding the home furnishing retailer’s presence in Quebec.
The company announced recently that the location at 1100 boulevard Maloney Ouest will be its sixth Plan and order point in the province and 13th in Canada. IKEA Canada said the new site is part of its strategy to bring planning and design services closer to residents of the Outaouais and national capital regions.
Plan and order points provide one-on-one consultations with IKEA specialists to help customers design and purchase home furnishing solutions for rooms such as kitchens and bedrooms. The company said customers can have their orders delivered or pick them up at the location. The Gatineau site will also offer a limited range of products for immediate purchase.
“We’re focused on better meeting the needs of our customers by delivering locally relevant solutions, reaching more of the many where they are, and offering a truly seamless omnichannel experience,” said Jessie Quick, country business development and transformation manager at IKEA Canada.
IKEA Canada said the Plan and order point format helps reduce travel distances for shoppers and contributes to affordability, accessibility and sustainability improvements. The retailer said the concept has been well received in other parts of Quebec.
“After seeing such a positive response to IKEA Plan and order points in other regions of Quebec, we’re thrilled to bring this unique format to Gatineau and support the many Outaouais residents in creating a better everyday life at home through beautiful, functional, and sustainable home furnishings that fit their budget,” said Amadou Diop, market area manager for the East Market.
The company said it has been helping Canadians furnish their homes for nearly 50 years and continues to explore new ways to serve customers across the country.
