Weekend-long celebration at IKEA U.S. stores for the re-opening of its newly remodeled restaurants, April 29 – May 1, 2016

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., 2016-Apr-14 — /EPR Retail News/ — IKEA U.S. invites customers to participate in a weekend-long celebration at stores across the country* to commemorate the grand re-opening of its newly remodeled restaurants from April 29 through May 1, 2016, beginning with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, April 29. Throughout the weekend, IKEA FAMILY** members can take advantage of fun activities & workshops, free goodie bag giveaways, and various IKEA Restaurant offers including discounted meal specials. Additionally, guests will be able to sample and taste some of the new nutritious and more sustainable IKEA Food offerings announced last year.

The three-day long event celebrates the re-opening of IKEA U.S. in-store restaurants. Nearly all of the restaurants nationwide are undergoing a full remodel so that customers will be able to enjoy a newly redesigned and customized dining experience featuring three different restaurant zones. The first area lends itself to a quick bite for the shopper on the run; the second space is family-oriented; and the third section is called “Fika” – Swedish for “to have coffee” – with a living room atmosphere.

“We know that there is so much more to food than food. Food brings people together at home in everyone’s daily lives, and we wanted to reflect that in the new dining experience at IKEA Restaurants,” said Patricia Meumann, U.S. Commercial Manager for IKEA Food. “What better way to celebrate together with our customers than with tasty food and family fun during our upcoming grand reopening weekend.”
