I saw this the other day, and I have to say, it sucks. My husband and I used to shop at IKEA when we lived in California over 20 years ago, and we were excited when they finally opened here in Tennessee about a decade ago. We’ve been shopping there a few times a year for a variety of things. But now, after their recent remodel, they’ve downsized the store and removed the larger restaurant. It’s definitely a letdown.
Ikea has always been a great place for brainstorming ideas for room remodels as our kids have grown, and for stocking dorms too. The affordability is a big plus. We’ve also hosted Scout meetings there. When the girls were in Girl Scouts, we completed the Room Makeover badge at Ikea, learning how to budget, price, and measure items for fictional remodels. In Scouts BSA, we’ve used it for navigating (lol) and even for scavenger hunts.
