IKEA Opens Store In Puerto Rico

IKEA, the Swedish home furniture company, has opened a store in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.  This is the first IKEA store in Puerto Rico.  The IKEA Bayamón store is at the site of the former Ferreterías Massó store on Highway 2 in the Hato Tejas sector.  The IKEA Bayamón showroom is 3,000 square feet. 


There was a lot anticipation in Puerto Rico when speculations about IKEA coming to Puerto Rico, but no official confirmation, made the news last year.  Puerto Ricans living in the mainland, who would have to ship IKEA items to relatives in Puerto Rico, have been looking forward to this day. 


IKEA has already opened a 62,000 square foot warehouse in Carolina and activated the online shopping portal for Puerto Rico.  IKEA plans to open a total of seven stores in Puerto Rico.

  1. This is great my favorite store is Ikea. I live in South Carolina and looking forward to be moving to Puerto Rico next year. I am moving to the Arroyo area. I hope that you can find a place in Ponce where is close to me or Guayama which is closer. If you guys need help with finding land I can help you out. My uncle owns 101 acres in Arroyo Puerto Rico...

  3. I live in California in the San Francisco Bay Area, and trust me on this. Most people who live in the Bay Area of San Francisco have at least one or two items from Ikea, whether it is furniture in their homes or furniture in their office, whether it is kitchen items and utensils or linens, or bathroom mirror, hallway lighting, or simply frames, pictures and candles. Ikea has it all. I went to Puerto RIco recently to help my sister with an interior design project. Trust me, I Ikea had the modern solution look in most of what we were looking for.
