San Fran unit next, then..
Article Abstract:
Ikea intends to follow the opening of its Chicago, IL, store with another opening, which will be in San Francisco, CA, in spring 2000. The San Francisco branch would be the specialty retailer's 14th store in the US and the first in the city. Plans call for a two-level, 275,000-sq-ft store to sit on a property in Emeryville, CA. Ikea currently operates 12 stores in the US, including locations in New York; Los Angeles, CA, area; Houston, TX; Philadelphia, PA; Washington; Baltimore, MD; Pittsburgh, PA; and Seattle, WA. Speculators believe that after the San Francisco opening, the company would locate in Boston, MA, and San Diego, CA.
