Construction works at the third IKEA store in Romania kicked off in November 2021.
The Swedish retailer currently has two stores in Romania, both in Bucharest. The first one opened in Baneasa, in northern Bucharest, in 2007. The second one, in the city's Theodor Pallady area, became operational in 2019.
