TAIPEI (The China Post) â Social media users and shoppers reacted on Monday to the news that IKEA Dunhua North Road Store will close its doors on April 26, including people from Tainan and Hsinchu who expressed hope that the Swedish multinational would open local outlets there.
The company, which announced the sad news on Sunday, thanked Taipei residents’ support over the past 23 years in a statement: “IKEA Dunhua North Road Store was the starting point for many people to meet IKEA.”
“Together, we have gone through important life stages such as student life, renting a house and moving out, getting married and buying a house, and welcoming a new life,” the company said.
