IKEA is coming to Culver City, though the date is yet unclear.
The Swedish furniture giant announced last week to open four more U.S. stores this year, including one in the historic Helms Design District, as initially reported by FOX 11. The new plan adds to the roster of the previously announced six locations, bringing the
total number of IKEA to open in the U.S. in 2026 to double digits. With this move, IKEA expands into inner L.A. with its first city-
center store.
The company released the annual summary for financial year 2025 with the announcement, noting $5.3 billion in total sales and $1.9 billion in e-commerce. Despite “increased inflation and waning consumer confidence,” the company reported close to 61 million visitors to the stores and over 457 million visitors online.
“(The fiscal year 2025) was a year of meaningful connection and growth despite a challenging external environment. We strengthened our ability to serve customers through new store formats, digital innovation and expanded rewards, all while reinforcing our commitment to communities and the environment,” said Rob Olson, interim chief executive of IKEA U.S., in a statement.
“Looking ahead to (the fiscal year 2026), we will build on this momentum, focusing on continued investment in the U.S. to make IKEA more affordable, accessible and sustainable,” he added.
FOX reported that the Culver City branch will span around 38,050 square feet with design areas and its popular food offerings.
The new year also marked a new leadership chapter for the multi-pronged furniture maker, with Jakub Jankowski stepping up as chief executive of Inter IKEA Group on Jan. 1.
