ESSEX, MARELAND
A very popular Swedish furniture retailer is planning to open a store in Tristate County as the company is planning on adding more locations to the United States. IKEA wants to open a 300,000 square foot superstore on an empty grass field on Route 12 in Essex, the company is just looking into the land to see if there is enough room for the store as well as parking before making a final decision. “We really do wanna open a store in the Tristate Metropolitan Area as this serves a total of 1 million people in this location just alone.” says Javier Quiñones, CEO of IKEA US. If the plans work out perfectly, IKEA says this future store would help benefit the residents of Essex as well as nearby Tristate and it’s nearby suburbs as well as North Village and other areas in Village County, Minecraft. The plans that IKEA have released plans to be a standalone store with a road connecting off of Route 12 in Essex named IKEA Drive. IKEA is just waiting to see if the land is big enough and will update if plans change but the company wants the plans to stay in Tristate County.
