It is scheduled to open in spring 2007.
“We are thrilled to enter the Greater Portland area with a second home in the Pacific Northwest,” said Pat Merwin, IKEA real estate manager. “We appreciate the efforts of those who worked to create this exciting opportunity for us at Cascade Station. IKEA Portland will allow us to be more convenient to our customers while also introducing the unique IKEA family-friendly shopping experience to new customers throughout Oregon and southwest Washington.”
IKEA Portland will feature four model homes, 50 room settings, a supervised children’s play area, and a 250-seat restaurant.
