New IKEA in south Dublin to open on Monday next

The long-awaited IKEA store in south Dublin will open on Monday.

The Carrickmines outlet off the M50 will be 20 times smaller than the Ballymun sister store and will act as an “order and collection point”.

The vast warehouse of goods won't be available so you simply order your purchase and get it delivered or collect it at a later date.

The Carrickimines outlet will still have a small range of products for sale like kitchen accessories and scented candles.

And there will also be a coffee shop selling IKEA’s range of healthy fruit and vegetable juices and cakes.

IKEA has already trialled its 'order and collection' format in the UK where it has been very successful.
