IKEA CANTON PROGRESSES AS BLUE WALLS START TO APPEAR
” PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA – IKEA, the world’s leading home furnishings retailer,
today noted that steel framing is complete and installation of blue composite
panels has begun on its future store opening next summer in Canton, MI. Under
construction on 21 acres at the intersection of Ford and Haggerty Roads off
I-275, the future 311,000 square-foot IKEA Canton will be the first IKEA store
and restaurant destination in Michigan, and 28th in the U.S. (The closest IKEA
stores are in the Chicago area and in greater Toronto.) In addition to 500
construction jobs, more than 400 coworkers will join the IKEA family when the
new store opens.
“With the store’s structure now formed and blue paneling
going up, we definitely are on track to a grand opening next summer,” observed
Joseph Roth, IKEA public affairs director. “We hope to be fully enclosed before
winter, and cannot wait to open IKEA Canton in Summer 2006.”
