Get ready for a home makeover! IKEA is set to open its doors to a brand new store in Fort Collins, Colorado, in 2026. But here's where it gets exciting: this store will be a smaller version of the iconic Swedish furniture giant, offering a unique shopping experience. Is this a good thing for the community, or will it be too small to cater to the needs of the locals?
The new IKEA store will be located in the heart of Fort Collins at the Front Range Village Shopping Center, providing easy access for residents and visitors alike. Spanning 64,000 square feet, it will be approximately one-sixth the size of the first Colorado IKEA store, which opened in Centennial in 2011. This smaller footprint means a more intimate shopping environment, perfect for those seeking a cozy and personalized experience.
Despite its size, the Fort Collins IKEA will offer a wide range of products, including 3,200 items for immediate takeaway, such as home furnishing accessories and small furniture pieces. But that's not all! You can expect to find IKEA's famous meatballs, plant balls, hot dogs, veggie dogs, plant dogs, and cinnamon buns, satisfying your cravings while you shop. And for those seeking expert advice, the store will feature a central planning area with IKEA experts ready to assist you in bringing your dream spaces to life, whether it's a kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom.
This new addition to the Colorado IKEA family will be the third in the state, joining a smaller 'plan and order point' store in Colorado Springs. IKEA's plans for 2026 include opening 10 new stores across the United States, with locations in Chicago, Tulsa, and Los Angeles also on the horizon. So, get ready to explore the world of IKEA and discover the joy of affordable, accessible, and sustainable home furnishings!
