Nope. If it does not take a full 1.5 hours to pass-through the store, it is not an IKEA.

Or, the sprawling Ikea next door is expanding like the Combine Citadel

That better be like Benders closest in Futurama, because an IKEA that isn't the size of a mall isn't an IKEA.

IKEA franchise in HK is owned by a conglomerate which also owns the supermarket.

Humans exiting this store should probably be detained and then debriefed prior to the administration of amnestics.

In Hong Kong a few supermarkets, 7-11, Ikea operations are all managed by DFI Retail Group which is under Jardine Group who also happen to own Maxims Group which manages operations of Starbucks, Cheesecake Factory, KFC, Pizza Hut, and many restaurants in Hong Kong.

The blue ad in the photo is yuu which is a rewards app you can collect rewards for shopping at supermarkets, 7-11, and redeem points for a meal at KFC, Pizza Hut, or even discounts at Ikea.

When I was somewhere around eleven or so, I went to an Ikea on the opening day.

It was the first and only time so far in my entire life that I experienced claustrophobia, and I definitely had a minor panic attack.

Not a fan of seemingly endless, inescapable mazes filled with so many people I can hardly tell which direction I am moving in.

So, my measure is that if it doesn't cause a pit of dread to form in my stomach, it isn't a true Ikea.

MinniesWorld t1_jd8mgi6 wrote

Experienced IKEA people know to start straight in the marketplace and they know how to navigate through departments they don’t want to be bothered with. At this point I can get in and out of an IKEA in less than a half an hour and that’s including the store with the groceries in it. I only get slow down if I want something too big for me to wrestle with and I need help loading the cart.

As a single guy I have a love hate relationship with the place. Love it because I don’t have a partner wanting to stop and look at everything. I can go straight to what I need and be out in half the time.

Hate it because anyone there not on their own is taking up the main aisle, moving at 2mph, and refusing to let faster shoppers pass. I’ve only dealt with inconsiderate shoppers in my experience.

I have only visited two IKEA stores and one is really close to where I live so that one I have been to since childhood. It is soon to be replaced by a new one so I have to relearn the maze.

But I have briefly visited Älmhult when passing by.

Maybe this IKEA is just specialized and only carries what might actually fit in an average Hong Kong apartment.

I park by the loading zone and walk straight in the doors where the registers are. Turn right to the other entrance, and there’s a little hidden door by the restrooms where the marketplace is. BAM! I’m exactly where I need to be and when I check out my car is right there
