New IKEA store opens today in south Dublin

The long-awaited new IKEA store in south Dublin will open today.

The Carrickmines outlet off the M50 doesn't have a big warehouse like the Ballymun premises.

Instead it will act as an “order and collection point”  so customers simply order their goods and get them delivered or collect them at a later date.

The new store  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.
