Conshohocken, Pa. — Top 50 retailer Ikea U.S. will open a small city store in San Marcos, Texas, in the spring to better serve customers in both the San Antonio and Austin markets.
Located at 917 SH-80 N in the San Mar Plaza shopping center, the 35,000-square-foot store will showcase “local living” solutions, tailored to local preferences that reflect the unique everyday needs of the San Marcos community.
“At Ikea U.S., we are committed to enhancing the customer experience by improving our store formats for greater convenience, making delivery more affordable and ensuring better connectivity with our customers in their daily lives,” said Javier Quiñones, CEO and chief sustainability officer of Ikea U.S. “The opening of Ikea San Marcos exemplifies our strategy of developing smaller, more accessible urban store formats in this journey towards a more connected and accessible Ikea experience for the many.”
This store will offer more than 2,500 products on display and 2,000 items available for immediate purchase, along with a small range of Swedish Food Market items. The full product range will be available for order either for home delivery or pick-up.
