According to local residents, the store is small, and prices are two to three times higher, and the goods really look like the originals
IKEA has reopened in Novosibirsk. The store under the new name “IKEA from around the world” sells products of the Swedish company. The opening of the store was reported by subscribers of the Novosibirsk Telegram channel “AST-54 Black”.
As the store employees themselves claim, all the products on the shelves are original, just imported from abroad. The goods really look like the originals, but their prices are two to three times higher, says chief editor of “AST-54” Dmitry Kondratiev, who visited the store’s opening.
– Considering the price tag, the originality of the product is just assumed. In the comments, people wrote: it looks like what they buy and import, that is, there is no delivery of the order. And the saddest thing for IKEA enthusiasts, there are no trademark meatballs there, no products at all that used to be in IKEA, and otherwise the same IKEA, only in smaller dimensions.
– Are we comparing prices to those that were in Russia, or those currently at IKEA in Europe?
– The prices that were in Russia.
– Everything has become more expensive in Europe too.
– I guess both, in any case, an ordinary person opened it, as far as I remember, there is no contract specifically with IKEA, they just came, found a place to buy, and bring it here. There are the familiar inscriptions and everything else, just a very small range of products. Small space, that is, two hundredths of IKEA, which we had, in terms of volume.
– Were there lines when it opened?
– Yes, a lot of people went there. And there is still excitement, they are looking for the products they are used to. The premises are small, the capacity is small, so people come in, come in, in the evening, at the shopping peak time, there is always a lot of people there.
The IKEA store chain in Novosibirsk closed on March 4, 2022. In early February of this year, it became known that IKEA, which announced its departure from Russia after the start of the special operation, extended the registration of its trademark until August 2033.
