TAMPA, FL-Ikea’s grand entrance into Florida last fall continues to hold strong, with giant walls being erected for its third location here. Crowds are continuing to flock to the Swedish home furnishing chain’s first statewide stores in Sunrise and Orlando.

A 353,000-sf store with surface parking for 1,700 vehicles continues on a 29-acre industrial redevelopment site at Adamo Drive and 22nd Street, just south of Tampa’s Ybor City historic district.
