IKEA Soon to Be a Reality for Denver
When we visit Frisco, TX we always try to make a run to IKEA. First of all, they have CHEAP stuff. Really cheap stuff! Especially kitchen gadgets (which I am a sucker for),
task lighting, accent pieces, tons of creative storage options, linens, and all kinds of decor items(We haven't even scratched the surface)...all at rock bottom prices! So you can imagine our surprise and elation last year when we heard IKEA was coming to Denver...not just to Denver, but about a mile from where we live! We have patiently watched as this monstrous building has emerged from the earth at C 470 and County Line Rd. near Park Meadows Mall. My heart races as each huge trademark blue section of the exterior is raised into place. The splash of bright yellow trim makes me smile every time I take that eastward turn from Quebec onto C 470!
The Denver IKEA is expected to feature 50 room settings and three model home interiors. This place is seriously BIG! They will feature over 10,000 products stocked in the store. IKEA provides a special parking section for families with small kids and will have over 1700 parking spaces!
Open! Open!! Open!!! Can't wait to join the throngs of shoppers as they push their way through the wide doors this fall and obediently follow the arrows that are strategically placed on the floor to guide us through the maze of shiny new items perfectly displayed under dramatic lighting...tempting us each step of the way...Two hours later we will emerge on a different floor, cart full of things we love, but may not necessarily need, all at bargain prices! Our tummies will be full from the great cafeteria food slung onto trays as we travel single file along the food line reminiscent of school days.
If you have not been to IKEA before, you are in for a treat. Things are on track for the grand opening of this much anticipated IKEA Colorado store opening in the fall of 2011. Wear your walking shoes and be prepared to spend some serious time in this great store coming to our area soon, but not soon enough for us! We will be adding this store to our list of "Colorado Attractions"! A must see! We will be updating you as the grand opening draws closer!
