IKEA Canada has announced a new Plan and order point in Abbotsford, BC – the first such location in the province and the 11th in Canada.
“Plan and order points offer customers one-on-one planning services with IKEA experts to design and purchase home furnishing solutions for any room in the home such as kitchen renovations or bedroom storage systems. Once orders have been placed, they can be delivered to their homes or collected from the pick-up location at the Plan and order point,” said the company.
“For those looking to instantly refresh their spaces, visitors to the Abbotsford Plan and order point will be able to shop up to 100 products from the IKEA range (excluding food – sorry, no meatballs) for immediate purchase and takeaway.”
Located in the West Oaks Mall at 32700 South Fraser Way, Unit 80, the Abbotsford Plan and order point is expected to open in late Fall 2025, adding to a growing network of Plan and order points across Canada, said the retailer.
“With the ongoing success and positive customer response to our existing Plan and order points, we see that Canadians are seeking inspiration and expertise to improve their spaces and better meet their evolving needs at home,” said Jessie Quick, Country Business Development and Transformation Manager, IKEA Canada.
Plan and order points are one of the many ways the retailer has been transforming its business to deliver a seamless retail experience wherever, whenever, and however customers choose to shop with the renowned home furnishing retailer. Insights show that Plan and order points help to reduce the distances that customers must travel to visit a store, which has affordability, accessibility, and sustainability benefits, said the company.
IKEA has been present in the BC market for nearly 50 years when the first Canadian store opened in Richmond in 1976. Today, there are 2 IKEA stores, 6 pick-up locations, and one customer distribution centre.
“We’re extremely proud of our history and connections with the BC community, and continued growth in Western Canada is an important focus for IKEA Canada,” said Janet McGowan, Market Area Manager, West Market.
“We’re thrilled to bring this unique IKEA format to BC and support the many Fraser Valley residents in creating a better everyday life at home through beautiful, functional, and sustainable home furnishings that fit their budget.”
