IKEA U.S. & Best Buy Announce Combined Planning Experience in Stores

IKEA U.S. announces that customers in select markets can now shop the new IKEA at Best Buy experience at select stores in Texas and Florida. These immersive planning spaces will feature inspirational kitchen and laundry room settings, designed to help customers create cohesive, functional living spaces with ease.

The shared retail presence is now live at the Best Buy stores in Boynton Beach, FL, Lakeland, FL (also serving as an IKEA product pick-up point), Melbourne, FL, Waterford Lakes, FL, Daytona Beach, FL and Alamo Ranch, TX (also serving as an IKEA product pick-up point). The IKEA shop-in-shop experiences in Mesquite, Hulen and South Austin, TX, stores will open on November 14th, followed by Humble, TX at a later date. 

“This partnership is about bringing great design, functionality, and affordability closer to the many, and we can’t wait to welcome customers in Florida and Texas to experience this new way to shop IKEA in Best Buy,” said Javier Quiñones, CEO & Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA U.S. “For the first time in the U.S., IKEA products will be available through another retailer, which is a big step forward on our journey to create a better everyday life for the many people.”

“We’re always looking for ways to better help our customers bring the best experiences to life in their homes, and we’re excited for them to explore IKEA at Best Buy and discover what’s possible when great design meets the latest technology,” said Patrick McGinnis, Chief Merchandising Officer at Best Buy. “This partnership brings together the best of IKEA and Best Buy to create a truly unique experience that we know customers will love and where they can seamlessly imagine design and shop for their kitchens and laundry rooms like never before.”

To celebrate the launch, opening day visitors in Alamo Ranch and Waterford Lakes will be welcomed with exclusive giveaways, and remarks from IKEA and Best Buy executives. Team members from both brands will be on site to guide shoppers through the new experience and share insights on how the collaboration brings together design, technology and convenience.

The shop-in-shop experience will be staffed with IKEA U.S. co-workers who will help customers design their spaces while also being able to shop for appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, ranges, dishwashers and washer and dryers. This innovative shared retail experience reflects both companies’ commitment to meeting customers where they are - offering well-designed home furnishing solutions and cutting-edge appliances in one convenient, collaborative retail experience.
