IKEA Canada has officially opened its doors to customers at the new IKEA Abbotsford Plan and order point, marking what it says is an important step in its journey to bring the brand closer to the many Canadians.
This unique location is the first of its kind in British Columbia and 11th across Canada, said the company.
Plan and order points are one of the many ways the renowned home furnishing retailer is making affordable home furnishings and services more convenient and accessible. Customers can book appointments with IKEA experts to design, order, and purchase complex home furnishing solutions for the kitchen, bedroom, living room, and bathroom. 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 retailer.
“For those looking to instantly refresh their spaces, visitors to the Abbotsford Plan and order point, located at 32700 South Fraser Way, Unit 80, can shop a limited selection of products from the IKEA range (excluding food – sorry, no meatballs) for immediate purchase and takeaway,” it said.
“At IKEA, our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many. And for Canadians today, that means greater value, ease, speed, functionality, and sustainability. In response, IKEA Canada has been transforming to ensure we deliver an affordable, seamless shopping experience – no matter how, when, and where customers choose to shop with us,” said Janet McGowan, Market Area Manager, West Market, IKEA Canada.
“IKEA has called British Columbia home for almost 50 years. We see so much more potential in this dynamic market and are excited to continue making our products and services even more accessible to the many British Columbians.”
With a commercial area of 5,790 square feet, the Abbotsford Plan and order point features 10 kitchen display inspirations, nine bedrooms display inspirations, four bathroom display inspirations; and two living room display inspirations. A team of 10 experts are ready to offer customers advice and ideas for designing the spaces of their dreams that meet the evolving needs of life at home.
“The Abbotsford Plan and order point has been created with our customers in mind. It’s a different space where they can explore ideas, get inspired, and work with our experts to plan and design solutions that fit their home, style, and budget. We’ll guide customers through every detail, from concept to delivery, so they can create a home that truly reflects who they are,” said Christophe Adrien, Market Manager, IKEA Coquitlam. “This opening is more than just a new location. It’s a promise to Abbotsford that IKEA will continue to innovate and adapt to meet the needs of its residents. By creating jobs, supporting local initiatives, and partnering with organizations that make a difference, we are committed to building a better everyday life, not just inside homes but across this great city.”
