Conshohocken, Pa. — By December 2025, Top 50 retailer Ikea U.S. expects to have a third full-sized store in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
The retailer, part of the Swedish furniture manufacturing and retailing group, will open a 108,875-square-foot store in Rockwall, on the easternmost edges of the metro area. When open, it will join stores in Grand Prairie and Frisco.
“We’re dedicated to connecting with people where they live and where they work,” Ben Sandoval, market area manager, told Furniture Today. “Rockwall helps us connect with Dallas customers as well as with customers from Texarkana and Little Rock. It’s a great opportunity for us and a great opportunity for our customers.”
Customers will be able to purchase in-store and take-home items that provide affordability, sustainability and organization solutions. Larger furniture items such as sofas and beds will be available to order for delivery or in-store pick-up. Ikea Food, including the brand’s famed meatballs, will be represented with the new Swedish Deli concept, a Swedish cafe to enjoy meals onsite and a Swedish Bistro for quick takeaway items that can be enjoyed in the outdoor seating area or at home.
“Our expansion goal is simple. We will be where people are, whenever and however they want to experience Ikea,” said Javier Quiñones, CEO and chief sustainability officer, Ikea U.S. “We have been testing different store formats to increase customer convenience, make home delivery more cost-efficient, and reach our customers where they live, work and socialize. Ikea Rockwall represents a key milestone in this ongoing journey.”
The space will include multiple fully furnished room settings to explore. These spaces will showcase “local living” solutions reflecting the unique everyday needs of the residents of the local community and its surroundings. Additionally, Ikea Rockwall’s design will include features for improved sustainability, specifically solar power, LEED-certified construction, EV chargers, onsite recycling and native plant materials to reduce water consumption.
“We are strongly committed to the communities in which we operate. Ikea Rockwall provides an even more seamless omnichannel shopping experience throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, and we look forward to welcoming residents and surrounding neighbors to this new Ikea experience,” said Rob Parsons, area market manager, Ikea U.S.
Sandoval said this opening is part of Ikea’s plan to become more accessible, affordable and convenient. He said prior to this store opening, customers from the rural parts of northeastern Texas and into Arkansas would have to go to the Frisco store to get the full Ikea experience.
“We’re excited to be opening soon and getting closer to our Rockwall customers,” he said.
