IKEA Expanding Boston Area Store

STOUGHTON, MA-Only the onsite warehouse will grow but changes will be made throughout the store.

By Rayna Katz | Updated on March 20, 2013

STOUGHTON, MA-IKEA announced Wednesday it plans to expand the warehouse of its Boston-area store here. As a result, the 357,000-square-foot store will grow by about 58,575 square feet to approximately 415,575 square feet. In particular, the store’s warehouse will increase from 111,442 square feet to 170,017 square feet. Construction activity will begin by this fall, with an expected completion by fall 2014. The store will remain open and operational during construction.

The project will include expanding the self-serve furniture area (where shoppers collect flat-packed furniture to take home on the same day), rearranging customer service functions to the newly built part of the store and enlarging the home delivery area. This extension will blend into the existing structure so the store can maintain its architectural design.
