Overview
- The new store opens on August 14 at 10 am with hours from 10 am–8 pm Monday to Saturday and 11 am–5 pm on Sundays.
- Spanning 6,695 sqm across two floors, the outlet is Brighton’s first full-range IKEA city-centre format following London’s Oxford Street and Hammersmith branches.
- Customers can choose from about 2,500–2,600 items for immediate purchase and access the full 12,000-strong range via delivery or click & collect.
- Level 1 features design and planning consultations alongside a Swedish Deli seating 100 and serving meatballs, plantballs and takeaway options.
- The ground floor houses a Re-shop/Re-use circular hub for pre-owned or returned items and the opening has added roughly 150 roles, prompting both optimism from local leaders and concern among independent traders.
