If you’re a big fan of affordable Swedish furniture (or even Swedish meatballs), you’re in luck; IKEA confirmed to KTVU that it’s opening a new location in the Bay Area.
The international furniture giant announced that its newest location will be built in Colma, a suburb about 10 miles south of San Francisco.
“The Colma Plan & Order Point offers personalized interior design planning and an IKEA pickup point, giving customers an easy and convenient shopping experience closer to home,” IKEA confirmed. The Colma location is scheduled to open this fall.
The new Plan & Order Point will complement the large-format store in San Francisco, and the company hopes it will serve as a convenient pickup point for customers in the Bay Area.

Additionally, protesters from the Stop the Sweeps organization are protesting San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s recent initiative to clear the city’s streets of homeless encampments. And Google is moving forward with plans to build a new building in San Jose.
News of the new location comes as the company celebrates the first anniversary of the opening of IKEA’s San Francisco location. IKEA San Francisco is marking the occasion with IKEA Day, a week-long celebration that begins Friday.
IKEA says it has created over 100 jobs at its San Francisco store. The additional store is a welcome economic opportunity for the San Francisco area, which has seen businesses large and small move out of the city due to rising costs.
