They sell entire houses. While they’ve been known for the whole flatpack furniture thing for a loooong time (the first item - a leaf-shaped table called the LOVET - debuted in 1956), they’re now selling entire prefab homes. They’re sort of boxy and only currently available in parts of Europe, but hey, no Allen wrench-assembly required!

IKEA isn’t a word, but an acronym dreamed up by the founder. The letters Ingvar Kamprad (his name), Elmtaryd (the farm he grew up on), and Agunnaryd (his Swedish hometown).

London city it is a beautiful city! Thanks for the shooting! سبحان الله العظيم 💙

Yeah, the IKEA really is packed!

They’re the 3rd largest consumer of wood on the planet. Just behind Home Depot and Lowe’s, IKEA uses a staggering 1% of the world’s wood per year.

Cool 👍

IKEA Greenwich is just so cool!

It’s mega-rich founder is a penny pincher. Founder Ingvar Kamprad is one of the richest people on earth (his net worth was estimated at $42.6 billion in 2012). However, he maintains a very simple lifestyle: he lives in a modest home in Sweden, insists on flying economy while trekking the world to visit new stores, stays in inexpensive hotels, and has even been known to replace bottles from their minibars with cheaper, locally purchased ones.

nice fact

Surprisingly, China isn’t home to their largest store. The largest - a 600,000 square foot behemoth - is actually in Sweden. China can claim the next four biggest, though.

Lol , that’s interesting! Waiting for Big food store as well! Thank you!

I love IKEA Greenwich too!

They’re more popular than Jesus. Each year more copies of the catalog are printed than of the Bible. It’s been in existence since 1951 and takes up nearly 70% of the marketing budget.
