IKEA launches new Plan & Order Point in Preston
IKEA has opened one of its smaller Plan & Order Point stores in Preston in Lancashire.
Dedicated to kitchen and bedroom planning, the 1,300 square foot showroom is situated on Deepdale Retail Park. It will also house a click-and-collect space for customers ordering any IKEA products online.
Customers will find a selection of different kitchens to browse, as well as kitchen fronts, worktops and a variety of appliances. The store will also showcase IKEA’s PAX wardrobe system, alongside a range of doors, interior organisers, knobs and handles.
The launch marks the third opening of the format in the North West following openings in Aintree and Stockport.
Michael Parker, area manager, IKEA UK, said: “In a year when IKEA celebrates its 80th birthday, the North West is extra special to us, being home to our first UK store in Warrington. With Plan & Order points in Aintree, Stockport, and now Preston, our existing full-size stores in nearby Ashton-under-Lyne and Warrington, collection points, home planning and remote and digital services, we are enabling an IKEA where customers can shop in the most convenient way for them.”
IKEA said the store has been designed based on insights around how customers in Preston want their dream kitchens brought to life. People in the area have shown a preference for kitchens in traditional styles, often in a U-shape, with white as the most popular colour.
