IKEA to open in Kyiv after quarantine. For now, plans to launch online store
The store will be located in the Kyiv shopping mall Blockbuster Mall.
The furniture and home goods retailer IKEA and the Blockbuster Mall shopping center in Kyiv have signed a lease agreement. Thus, IKEA will soon officially appear on the Ukrainian market. This was announced by business client coordinator at the company's Polish branch Igor Ius on Facebook.
The store's opening date is still unknown due to the coronavirus epidemic.
“Quarantine is quarantine, but private business does not plan to stand still. The lease agreement between IKEA Ukraine and Blockbuster Mall has already been signed, but due to the epidemic, the opening of the store in the very center of Kyiv is still unknown when it will take place,” — Ius said.
He also noted that IKEA's management plans to launch online sales in Ukraine in the near future.
“IKEA has realized that the Ukrainian customer is very flexible and more adapted to online shopping than to traditional stores,” — Ius added.
