White Marsh Ikea Offers Free Breakfast To Feds Amid Shutdown

WHITE MARSH, MD — The Ikea in White Marsh is one of three in the area offering free breakfast to federal government employees until the government shutdown ends.

To qualify, bring your appetite and federal government ID from 9:30 to 11 a.m., Monday to Friday.

The offer is valid for one free breakfast combo per ID as well as coffee or tea.

It is subject to change without notice, according to Ikea.

Here are the locations where the breakfast deal is being offered:

• Ikea, 8352 Honeygo Blvd, Nottingham
• Ikea, 10100 Baltimore Ave, College Park
• Ikea, 2901 Potomac Mills Circle, Woodbridge

The partial government shutdown is the longest in U.S. history. The state comptroller estimates that 90,000 Marylanders are either furloughed or working without pay during the government shutdown.

The partial federal government shutdown started on Friday, Dec. 21, as President Donald Trump and Congress battled over funding for a border wall with Mexico. Thousands of workers felt the pinch on Jan. 11 when they did not get paid for the first time since the shutdown began, and Friday, Jan. 25, would be the second missed paycheck for impacted employees.
