IKEA is marking a massive milestone this week.
The Swedish furniture giant is celebrating 10 years since it first opened its doors in Ireland.
Since it opened on July 27, 2009, more than 30 million visits have been made to IKEA’s flagship store in Ballymun.
Research conducted on behalf of the company found that 65 per cent of adults in Ireland have at least one IKEA product in their home.
One in four people who were surveyed said that IKEA was their go-to when moving into a new home, with another 21 per cent saying they visited the furniture giant when planning their first home with their partner.
This intrinsic link with key moments in people’s everyday lives also extends into parenthood. Parents in Ireland are big fans of IKEA, as 70 per cent of Irish parents stated that they have IKEA products in their home.
