It’s been in the works for months, and finally the new mammoth Ikea is opening in Ottawa – to be the largest in Canada, it’s located almost right where the old one was (off of Pinecrest) and is already generating huge buzz.
I’m very pleased to be working with Ikea to help get the word out about their new store. Please welcome A Little Bit of Momsense’s newest advertiser, the fabulous Ikea Canada!
With over 427,000 sq. ft. of space, 55 show rooms, double the product selection, 640 seats at the restaurant, and fun for the kids, this is sure to be a popular store (and let’s face it, Ikea was popular at it’s old location too!). In addition, there will be 36 cash lanes, 1200 parking spaces, the restaurant will feature organic chicken and beer and so much more!
Tonight, I’m excited to be getting a sneak peak at the new building and what they have to offer. Follow my Facebook Page for updates, notes and hopefully some pictures that I will be sharing!
Ikea Canada is working hard in the city to get the word out about the opening, and encouraging residents to trade in their old, boring furniture for some new, fun pieces.
To build excitement around the opening, we are introducing the Ottawa Interior Beautification Plan which will will include:
1.Setting up trade in locations for Ottawans to exchange their old items for beautification credits (IKEA gift cards).
2.Conducting drive by beautifications, where we will drive our IKEA truck through different neighbourhoods, trading unwanted items for Beautification credits to anyone with our Beautification signs in their windows. The signs can be downloaded from the IKEA Canada Facebook page or clipped out of the December 3rd Ottawa Citizen.
3.Giving away new IKEA items at outdoor beautification boards all over Ottawa.
Interested in learning more about the beautification plan and how you can get involved? Visit the Ikea Canada Facebook page for truck locations and details.
Are you excited about the new Ikea opening on December 7?
