The outlets allow customers to plan their rooms, such as kitchens, alongside staff who have planning expertise. Customers can then order the products for the plan and have them delivered to their homes.

The Cork outlet is located in Douglas Village Shopping Centre.

Martyn Allan, Market Manager at Ikea, said the new outlet meant customers in Munster “can meet us to plan kitchens and other areas of their home in their local area. An exciting first step on bringing IKEA closer to our customers in southern Ireland.”
