Ikea to Open 7 U.S. Stores by Winter 2027 as €5 Billion Expansion Advances

Summary
Seven new Ikea stores are slated to open across the U.S. by winter 2027, adding six large-format locations and one small-format site in Manhattan’s SoHo.
Five of the openings are scheduled for 2026—Gurnee, Tulsa, Madison, SoHo and Sarasota—with Buffalo and Fort Collins due in early 2027; exact opening dates have not been set.
Ikea already runs more than 50 U.S. stores and recently added locations in Chantilly, Virginia, on June 18 and Rockwall, Texas, on May 13.
The expansion ties to parent Ingka Group’s €5 billion, three-year investment, which also includes 20 small-format stores across Europe and North America announced in March 2026.
Those smaller Plan and Order points are designed to open faster and more cheaply than traditional stores, focusing on staffed design help and pickup access in everyday shopping areas.
