Employing approximately 225 people, the Memphis store is the retailer's 392nd outlet worldwide, and 43rd in the US.
IKEA store manager Trisha Bevering said: “The enthusiasm of coworkers about this big day and the warm reception from the community are translating into excitement and a great shopping event for our customers.”
