'No meatballs, no likey': Manchester's new IKEA has already divided shoppers on opening day
Greater Manchester's newest IKEA store has already divided shoppers as customers took to social media to voice their opinion.
It is smaller than the standard IKEA store and is intended to compliment the bigger units, the Scandinavian brand has confirmed, but is said to be packed with kitchen and wardrobe solutions - including oven and hob options, kitchen fronts, worktops and appliances. However, the announcement has divided customers.IKEA shoppers have been vocal on social media, disappointed that the store is largely for kitchen and bedroom design rather than a full range of products and services.
"Went in today, [it's] literally only there for kitchens and wardrobes. Still have to travel to the big one in Ashton," added Laura Woodfin. Zoe Newbon on Facebook joked: "Wait what? No meatballs? I'm not going." While social media user Julia Maunder added: "No meatballs, no likey." "The new store has been carefully designed based on insights around how people in Greater Manchester want their dream kitchens to be brought to life", added a spokesperson for IKEA, who says residents show a preference for kitchens in traditional styles, often in a L-shape. Customers can book an appointment, free of charge, to start their design journey with one of IKEA’s planning specialists or use the in-store self-service tools to design their own solution.
