IKEA Coming To Cherry Hill With New Concept Store

CHERRY HILL, NJ — IKEA is planting its flag in South Jersey, with a concept store planned for Cherry Hill.

The furniture giant is bringing a "plan & order point" store to the Ellisburg Shopping Center. The concept stores are a fraction of the typical IKEA size, allowing customers to meet with staff to plan out purchases for delivery or scheduled pickups.

Cherry Hill's store is slated to open this summer.

IKEA has introduced the new format to various locations in recent years. While traditional stores are massive, Cherry Hill's will take up around 1,900 square feet, making it one of the smaller establishments in the shopping center.

Customers will also be able to pick up online orders at the new location.

However, the plan & order point stores don't sell food. So you'll still need to travel to South Philly for the meatballs.

Although South Jersey doesn't have a traditional IKEA, Cherry Hill Mall has an IKEA Kitchen Planning Pop-Up Shop, where staff help customers design a custom kitchen.

The pop-up, which opened in 2023, was originally slated for a half-year run. But more than a year later, it's still there.

At this time, the Ellisburg Shopping Center store will not impact the pop-up shop, a regional IKEA spokesperson told Patch.
