Mayor London Breed; Ingka Group’s Jesper Brodin; 945 Market St.
Ikea, a global home furnishing company with Swedish roots, is making a big bet on San Francisco’s beleaguered downtown.
The retailer now based in the Netherlands will open an 85,000-square-foot store at 945 Market Street in South of Market, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. A grand opening is set for Aug. 23.
Ikea’s arrival “is a tremendous boost,” declared Mayor London Breed, who has wooed the company since 2018.
At least one official said it can create a halo effect.

The homes are in the alleyway, those cardboard boxes labeled Amana, Frigidaire, and Whirlpool.
Free Swedish Meatballs for all of the homeless!
I’d open one in Hawaii...
“It’s harder to shoplift a sofa.”
Yes, but by the time the homeless druggie takes a nap on the sofa in his urine soaked pants, who is going to buy it?
hahahahahahaha...... oh my!
Is there a way of getting a prop bet in?
$1000 for the under 2 years. There is NO way that a store with scandinavian white supremacist roots and flammable, quasi-valuable products stays unless they place security 24-7-365 with weapons and made with asbestos/flame retardant material .
Also $500 for the under 48 hours for the first turd to be in front of the door, $100 for the under 1 week for the first employee assaulted and $200 for the under 30 days for first flash mob/ store reparation payment.
That’s queer.
Next IKEA in Compton
Great idea! The deadbeats don’t want to have to build something - rather steal it ready-made!
LOL
One of the last issues of the long published British magazine Punch had a great cartoon.
Showed some poverty stricken people at the bottom of a hill near their cardboard box dwellings, looking up at a couple who had a twenty foot long array of larger format carboard boxes together on the hill top.
“Hmmph. They’re house proud. Always have been.”
[It’s harder to shoplift a sofa.]
I bet it’ll happen.
Great place to house homeless.
Better chain and bolt the furniture to the floors. The Shoplifting Locusts are making their lists and checking them twice.
Good luck to shop lifters/thieves at an IKEA.
You just know that minorities are screaming from all the open rooftops, “WHITE SUPERIORITY!”
Why?
Well they won’t be able to walk out with much but boy will they be able to break a lot.
It’s harder to shoplift a sofa.
put me down for day 3 in the pool
I can imagine some of the calls they will get when they try to assemble their “purchases”
They are probably just using this as a reason to visit Fayg Town.
