ABBOTSFORD — IKEA Canada has confirmed that it will open a Plan and order facility in Abbotsford, the first such location in the province and the 11th in Canada.

According to a news release from the company, the IKEA Plan and order point is expected to open in late fall 2025 in unit 80, 32700 South Fraser Way, at the West Oaks Mall, adding to a growing network of IKEA Plan and order venues across Canada.

IKEA says Plan and order points offer customers one-on-one planning services with in-house experts to design and purchase home furnishing solutions for any room in the home ,such as kitchen renovations or bedroom storage systems. 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.

For those looking to instantly refresh their spaces, visitors to the Abbotsford Plan and order point will be able to shop up to 100 products from the IKEA range for immediate purchase and takeaway. The company is quick to point out there won’t be a cafeteria or any of IKEA’s famous meatballs at the Abbotsford location.

“With the ongoing success and positive customer response to our existing Plan and order points, we see that Canadians are seeking inspiration and expertise to improve their spaces and better meet their evolving needs at home,” said Jessie Quick, Country Business Development and Transformation Manager, IKEA Canada.

IKEA says Plan and order points help to reduce the distances that customers must travel to visit an IKEA location, which fosters affordability, accessibility, and sustainability.

IKEA has been in British Columbia for nearly 50 years due to the first Canadian store opening in Richmond in 1976. There are two IKEA stores, 6 pick-up locations, and one customer distribution centre in British Columbia.

“We’re extremely proud of our history and connections with the BC community, and continued growth in Western Canada is an important focus for IKEA Canada,” said Janet McGowan, Market Area Manager, West Market. “We’re thrilled to bring this unique IKEA format to BC and support the many Fraser Valley residents in creating a better everyday life at home through beautiful, functional, and sustainable home furnishings that fit their budget.”

IKEA Canada says it will be looking to recruit quality talent as it continues to grow its operations in Canada. To learn more about building a career with IKEA and joining the teams that will bring these new customer meeting points to life, visit IKEA.ca/careers.
