Future IKEA In Delco Plans Opening For The Coming Months

MEDIA, PA — IKEA expects its small-format store under construction in Media to open mid-summer, a company spokesperson told Patch.

The furniture giant is bringing a "Plan and order point" store to The Promenade at Granite Run.

Far smaller than a traditional IKEA location, the Plan and order points allow customers to sit with employees to plan home-furnishing solutions. Staff can arrange for delivery or schedule orders for pickup on a future date.

IKEA's first U.S. store opened in 1985 in Plymouth Meeting, later moving to a larger space in Conshohocken and bringing another full-service store to South Philadelphia.

The international corporation only has about 50 U.S. stores. But in recent years, IKEA has branched into smaller locations such as pop-up show rooms and the Plan and order points.

First announced last year, IKEA Media will be the company's first store in Delaware County. However, the original targeted opening for spring has been delayed a bit.

Media's location will be 3,755 square feet, making it one of the smaller stores in the shopping center. But it will offer pick-up, which is not available at all Plan and order points.

IKEA Media will be located at 1111 W. Baltimore Pike, Suite K.
