IKEA's Expansion: A New Store in Fort Collins, Colorado
Get ready, Colorado! IKEA is bringing its iconic Swedish design and affordable home furnishings to Fort Collins in 2026. This new store will be a welcome addition to the state, offering a unique shopping experience for residents.
A Smaller IKEA, But Still Iconic
The new IKEA store in Fort Collins will be approximately 64,000 square feet, a fraction of the size of the first Colorado IKEA store in Centennial, which opened in 2011. Despite its smaller footprint, it will still offer a wide range of products and services.
A Range of Products and Services
Customers can expect to find 3,200 items for immediate takeaway, including home furnishing accessories and 250 small furniture items. And, of course, no IKEA visit is complete without indulging in their famous Swedish meatballs, plant balls, hot dogs, veggie dogs, plant dogs, and cinnamon buns.
Expert Assistance
IKEA is known for its helpful experts, and the Fort Collins store will be no exception. A central planning area will be available for customers to seek assistance in bringing their spaces to life, whether it's a kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom.
Part of a Broader Expansion
This new store is just one part of IKEA's U.S. expansion plan. In 2026, IKEA aims to open 10 new stores across the country, including locations in Chicago, Tulsa, and Los Angeles. This expansion reflects IKEA's commitment to making its products more affordable, accessible, and sustainable.
A Community-Focused Approach
IKEA's Interim CEO, Rob Olson, emphasized the company's focus on community and environmental commitment. Despite a challenging external environment, IKEA strengthened its ability to serve customers through new store formats, digital innovation, and expanded rewards. This expansion will build on that momentum, ensuring IKEA remains a beloved and trusted brand.
So, mark your calendars for 2026, Fort Collins! IKEA is coming, and it promises to bring a touch of Swedish magic to the heart of Colorado.
