IKEA is a world-famous, successful retail chain that sells furniture and household goods. The company was founded in 1943 in Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad. The name was formed from the first letters of the name and surname of its founder (I.K.), as well as the first letters of the names Elmtaryd (E) and Agunnaryd (A), the farm and the village where he spent his childhood. IKEA operates a total of 465 stores in 63 markets all over the world. The company employs more than 225,000 employees worldwide.
At first, IKEA’s assortment of products consisted of pens, wallets, and picture frames. Furniture appeared in the store's assortment only in 1948. IKEA’s range of products never fails to impress its customers with diversity and reasonable prices. IKEA sells everything from kitchen furniture, beds, and home decor to kids’ furniture, toys, and plants. IKEA’s main idea is to allow its customers to make the design of their homes unique and interesting without exceeding their budget. According to the company, good design is a design that correctly combines form, functionality, quality, and low price, all while remaining environmentally friendly. To this day, the list of goods manufactured under the IKEA brand is constantly expanding. The company has also started opening restaurants and cafes under the name IKEA in its stores and this concept is very popular among the customers.
The US is IKEA’s second-largest market after Germany. The first IKEA store in the United States was opened in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, in 1975. Currently, the company operates 52 locations across the USA and plans to continue its expansion throughout the country. IKEA stores are usually open from 10 AM till 9 PM Monday through Sunday.
