On Friday 29th August, IKEA opened a Plan & Order Point in Clifton Moor Retail Park, York, which was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Luke Charters MP, The Rt Hon Lord Mayor of York, Councillor Martin Rowley BEM, and all the new store’s 12 members of staff.
The Plan & Order Point is a smaller store dedicated to kitchen and bedroom planning, where customers can visit for home furnishing advice and design expertise. Customers can book a free appointment to start their design journey with one of the York store’s six planning specialists, or use the in-store self-service tools to design their own solution.
At IKEA Plan and Order Points, customers can order from the entire product range, with the option for next-day collection or home delivery. The store also offers a collection area for orders made online, as well as providing a service for customers wanting to return any IKEA purchase.
Conor Doherty, IKEA market manager, says: “We’re thrilled to open the doors to our new IKEA Plan and Order Point in York. This welcoming space is designed to inspire – offering a chance to explore our unique kitchen ranges and smart storage solutions. It’s the perfect place to discover IKEA’s extensive selection of affordable home products, suited to every budget. Plus, it provides a convenient new location for collecting online orders and purchases from our Hull and Leeds stores.”
The Rt Hon Lord Mayor of York, Councillor Martin Rowley BEM, adds: “IKEA’s new Plan and Order point in York is a welcome boost for the local economy and high street. It reflects growing confidence in our region’s potential and will bring valuable footfall, partnerships and opportunities for the wider business community."
The opening in York is part of IKEA’s wider UK expansion plan, which will see another Plan and Order Point open in Dundee and a small store in Chester in the coming months. This follows the recent opening of a Plan and Order point in Hull, small stores in Harlow and Norwich, and a city store in Brighton.
