Minneapolis & Conshohocken, PA – IKEA U.S. has introduced its first cross-brand retail experience within select Best Buy stores, aimed at providing customers with a more convenient and accessible way to plan and shop for home furnishings and appliances.

The new IKEA at Best Buy concept launches in several Texas and Florida locations, featuring kitchen and laundry room planning spaces that showcase functional and coordinated home designs. The shared retail experience is available at 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). Additional openings are scheduled for November 14 in Mesquite, Hulen, and South Austin, TX, 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.”

Opening day events at the Alamo Ranch and Waterford Lakes locations will include giveaways and remarks from IKEA and Best Buy executives. Staff from both companies will be available to assist customers and demonstrate how the collaboration integrates design, technology, and convenience.

The in-store planning centers will be staffed by IKEA U.S. co-workers who can assist customers in designing their spaces and purchasing appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, ranges, dishwashers, and washers and dryers. The initiative reflects both companies’ efforts to offer home furnishing and appliance solutions in a single, coordinated retail setting.
