Some stores in Mexico, such as Sam’s Club or Costco, have accustomed customers to the fact that in order to make purchases, a membership must be purchased, which has a high cost; but the arrival of a new store has been announced that will completely change this panorama.
The world of home shopping is changing and since a Swedish multinational store opened its doors in Mexico City in 2021, the market has completely changed.
The opening of a new store The extension of this store in Puebla in 2022 was the extension that everyone was asking for, so its fame has grown rapidly, attracting those who seek design and functionality without the need for a membership.
Now, IKEA is ready to take a new step in the country, with the upcoming opening of its third branch, this time in western Mexico, specifically in the municipality of Zapopan, Jalisco. Does IKEA require a membership? While Costco and Sam’s Club have dominated the membership store market, IKEA comes with a different proposition, and that is that they allow purchases without the need for a subscription.
This aspect has been a great attraction for those looking for household items without additional charges, especially in a time when the economy is quite complicated and where people are looking to save on each of their purchases.
Unlike traditional business models, IKEA allows its customers to directly buy any item, from furniture to decorative accessories, so in itself, it is not direct competition for Sam’s Club or Costco, since both franchises are based on other types of items as well.
Where is IKEA Zapopan? Located at Av. López Mateos Sur #2121 in the Rinconada del Sol neighborhood, the new IKEA store is one of the most anticipated, especially because there is none close to it.
When will IKEA Zapopan open?
Although there is still no official opening date, rumors suggest that it could be ready between late 2024 and early 2025. Once opened, this store will feature spacious areas, displays designed to inspire visitors, and a wide variety of products organized into different sections, making the shopping experience easier.
In addition to furniture and decorative items, this Zapopan store is expected to include a restaurant with typical Swedish food, so as in its other branches, you can find the famous Swedish meatballs and its unique desserts.
