IKEA Closes Groningen for Thursday, Utrecht Still Shut, as Delft Reopens After Snow Checks

Decisions follow roof inspections under a safety protocol focused on clearing heavy snow.

Overview

  • The Groningen store on Sontweg will be closed Thursday after a roof inspection with a high-reach platform led to a precautionary decision.
  • IKEA Utrecht has remained closed since Monday because of snow load on the roof.
  • After an unplanned closure on Wednesday, IKEA Delft will open Thursday at 10:00 as crews clear the roof, and the store reports no damage.
  • IKEA is removing snow from store roofs and describes the effort as an ongoing challenge as more accumulation can quickly return.
  • The company says Groningen and Utrecht could reopen by Friday, depending on weather, snow removal progress, and daily safety assessments.
