The Sweden-based IKEA, the world’s largest retailer of furniture and household goods, has officially announced the opening of a store in Kyiv’s Blockbuster Mall on February 1, the company says in a press release.
“IKEA is pleased to announce the opening date of the first physical store in Ukraine. On February 1, the company will meet its first Ukrainian customers in a city-format store in Kyiv, which will be located at Blockbuster Mall. This event is another step towards expanding IKEA’s activities in the Ukrainian market after the launch of online store in May last year,” the statement reads.
The city-format store in Kyiv will be the first IKEA city-format store in the Southeast Europe region (Ukraine, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia). “This format is part of the company’s new strategy, the goal of which is to get closer to people in the city centers and make its solutions and services for the home more accessible,” the press release reads.

Thanks, Knute! 😀
It took some time, but here we are 😀
Next: Swedish and Danish banks. Ukrainian banks are all rotten.
I would hardly call Danske bank clean, after they allowed $200 billion of laundered Russian money through it’s Estonian branch. 😁
You and RSM are so supposed to fight the trolls, not us. 😉
We are for the facts. LMAO
What facts? Scandinavian banks brought great stability to the Baltic States. Ukrainian banks are crap. I doubt british or german banks are any better. Don’t throw stones whille sitting in a glass house. 😉
I never claimed British banks are any better. In my view all banks are criminal entreprises. Why do you think politicians all end up with nice jobs as board members of various banks?
We had a big bank in Norway that was in trouble in the early 90’s, and they begged our government for help. They said no, but we can take over your bank for 1 kr. When the bank after some years was financially stable then it was sold out, today it’s the biggest bank in Norway. To big to fall? Not in Norway!
I seem to remember that Swedbank used to be present in Ukriane. I think they sold all the branches to a competitor and left after a few years of losses.
Hopefully “you” will not continue stealing Ukrainian wood for your furniture.

Ikea are more famous for the quality of their meatballs, than the quality of the furniture they make. 😂
GFY! 😀🇸🇪🇩🇰
I don’t believe you’ll find something here at home without a IKEA stamp on it 😀
You and your wife. 😂
13-13 😊
25-22. 😀
Vi er verdensmester!!! 💪
Da smager vi på en lille! Skål 😀
Skål! 😊
Vi er videre til guld!
Skandinavisk mesterskap 😂
Nej. Det är vi som tar guld.
Det tror jeg ikke. Vi ska se. 😎
VM-silver för Sverige – föll i finalen mot Danmark 😉
Ah over there eh.
I don’t think I’ve ever been over to that part.
Not that I’m likely to go Ikea shopping while I’m there.
With IKEA in Ukraine, expect rapidly increasing divorce and suicide rates strongly correlated with missing screws, bolts, furniture parts and incomprehensible instructions.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
