New furniture at the corner of Trade and Tryon?

The Charlotte Business Journal announced this week that Scandinavian furniture giant, Ikea will set up a “pop-up”, fully furnished room next week. The room will be open to the public Feb. 12th and 13th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The room is designed to start a buzz for Ikea’s grand opening in the University area on February 18th. Best of all, Ikea will give back to the community by donating the furniture to a local charity after the two day display.
If you have never heard of Ikea, they provide affordable furniture that the end user transports and also assembles on their own. You can take a look at their online catalog here to see the types of home furnishings they offer.
The next closest Ikea is in Atlanta, GA, so Ikea opening in Charlotte should help draw patrons from other areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
