IKEA U.S. announced plans for a new Plan and order point with Pick-up located in South Bay, California which is set to open to the public in Spring 2026. This new customer meeting point brings the IKEA experience closer to more residents of the San Diego metro area.
The IKEA South Bay Plan and order point with Pick-up is one of many new format stores that are part of the growth strategy for IKEA U.S. In this new format, customers can meet with an IKEA co-worker to plan and order home furnishing solutions that may require design support– such as kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms. With this location, IKEA is increasing accessibility to the brand and meeting customers where they are and how they like to shop.
Customers shopping at this location can arrange home delivery or pick-up at a time that is convenient. Same day pick up is not available, as all orders need to be placed in advance. Online shoppers also have the option to pick up qualifying orders by selecting IKEA South Bay as their preferred pick-up location at checkout.
“I'm beyond excited to welcome customers to our new Plan and order point in South Bay this Spring. This new store location is perfect for customers who are looking to purchase affordable home furnishings, plan new design projects, and create a home they love. IKEA South Bay brings our signature design solutions to the Imperial Beach, Otay Mesa, Chula Vista and the southern San Diego County community—making it more accessible, more convenient, and of course, more affordable,” said Laura Mellor, market manager, IKEA San Diego.
IKEA has been in the San Diego market for 25 years, since opening its first store in San Diego in 2000. IKEA South Bay will be located in Southland Plaza Shopping Center at 585 Saturn Blvd, Suite A, San Diego, CA, 92154 covering 2,450 square feet of leased retail space. While the new store brings IKEA closer to more customers in San Diego County and surrounding areas, fans of the iconic meatballs and other IKEA Food offerings will still need to make a trip to IKEA San Diego to satisfy their cravings.
In addition to opening new Plan and order points, IKEA U.S. has made significant investments to enhance its e-commerce experience and service offerings, including new benefits for IKEA Family members, lower priced shipping and delivery, Click & collect, and TaskRabbit assembly services.
