IKEA

Home furnishings retailer IKEA has appointed Deacon as contractor to build a new, updated store in Renton, in the US state of Washington.

To be spread over an area of around 406,000ft2, the proposed store with two levels will be constructed on the parking area of the current store, which will be demolished later to create room for more parking.

The Renton store will provide nearly 1,600 convenient parking spaces.

The customers can continue to shop at the existing Renton store, until the new store opens in 2017.

IKEA US president Lars Petersson said: "IKEA is excited at the opportunity to relocate our established, successful presence at the same location as the existing one, and appreciate the city’s support.

"Opening a new, updated Seattle-area store at the same location allows us to offer an enhanced IKEA shopping experience."
