IKEA Store Located in Commerce City, Denver, Colorado
Submitted by greggles on Mon, 2006-09-11 13:05.
Today I mentioned my fascination with IKEA stores opening in Denver. A friend was talking about how she wanted some new office furniture - Room and Board felt too expensive for what she needs and Scandinavian Design was her best choice. What should she do? I recommended IKEA and lamented the fact that we didn’t have one…
IKEA Coming to Denver
Which is when another friend said that we’ve got an IKEA that will open up north of I-70 somewhere near that big fishing shop. Well, further searches online informed me that IKEA is opening in the rocky mountains but that’s over in Utah. And for those who are used to European or East Coast scale - a state away is not “close”. But this is a great sign because it shows that IKEA is spreading into the interior of the country!
Colorado Ikea can’t be far away…
…even though Ikea Store Locations makes it seem otherwise.

Ikea commercials?
I read that IKEA was courting Colorado for a store in about 2002, and at that time it said the plans were to open one within the next 7 years. Ouch. I decided to stop hoping until I actually drove past a store. But the past month or so, I’ve been seeing IKEA commercials on local netwrok programming. Dare I begin to hope anew?
I hope so...
Man I hope that you’re right.
I keep hearing that an IKEA Commerce City (North Denver) is coming but until I see newspaper alerts that it’s opening I’m not going to get my hopes too high.
In related news, I was searching online for a home office desk and I’m pretty surprised that IKEA doesn’t have any desks with wheels. They have one with wheels on two of the four legs, but not with lockable wheels on all 4 legs. Bummer.
Might not happen
I am a big proponet of IKEA, in fact I have driven from Denver to Tempe to pick up some new bedroom storage units. I think the biggest oposition IKEA faces is the existing furniture industry that already resides in the Denver area. With big names like Furniture Row and American Furniture Warehouse calling Denver home, it might be difficult for IKEA to get thier foot in the door. Denver Govornors are notorious for acting as isolasionists to outside foreign competition. It is widey known that Jake Jabbs is a friend of both John Hikkenlooper and Bill Ritter. That being said, it might be a while before our Scandanavian friends cross into Colorful Colorado…
