Hundreds of people flocked to Swedish furniture retailer IKEA’s new outlet in Taipei’s Neihu District (內湖) yesterday, when the store formally opened, as Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) expressed concern about traffic in the district.
The new store covers 6,200 ping (20,496m2) and has the capacity for 9,000 people. It replaced the Dunbei store in downtown Taipei, which had closed two days earlier.
At an inauguration ceremony for the new store, IKEA Group board member Marin Lindstrom said he was delighted that IKEA has found a new home in Neihu after operating at the Dunbei commercial zone for 23 years.
