IKEA is not coming to Beirut City Centre

After hearing many rumors that IKEA will be soon opening in Beirut City Centre, I was just informed yesterday that they are not.

According to my sources, it seems that IKEA originally asked for a very large space to rent, but due to the high demand for shop space rental by a lot of other business owners, the people behind Beirut City Centre were unable to accommodate IKEA’s needs.

This I guess doesn’t mean that IKEA will not be coming to Lebanon at all, since they’re already showing interest in the country, but it will probably take time until they decide where exactly will they choose to open.

    I feel it is important to have an IKEA in Lebanon, then we can have stuff that is decent and affordable to buy. It will also eliminate and replace the massive bad quality furniture available in Lebanon’s markets. You can also fix IKEA items by self and avoid cheap workmanship and reliable promises
