The retailer confirmed to USA TODAY that it plans to open six traditional large-format stores and one smaller-format location over the next two years. Ikea currently operates more than 500 stores worldwide, including more than 50 in the United States.

New York shoppers will see two new Ikea locations open over the next several months:

The 67,000-square-foot location in Buffalo will occupy part of a former Sears store and feature Ikea's signature showroom, marketplace and Swedish Bistro. It will be the retailer's second upstate New York store, following the opening of its Syracuse location in 2025, and is expected to attract shoppers from across western New York, Pennsylvania and southern Ontario.
