IKEA expands UK footprint with new York planning hub

IKEA has opened a new Plan & Order Point at Clifton Moor Retail Park in York, adding to its network of smaller, specialist locations across the UK.

The facility focuses on kitchen and bedroom design, offering planning services for businesses and individual customers. It includes an order collection area for online purchases and supports next-day collection or home delivery. Customers can also return items through the site.

The York location complements IKEA’s existing stores in Hull, Leeds, Harlow, Norwich, and Brighton. The company’s recent openings form part of a broader strategy to increase reach in regional markets, improve accessibility to planning services, and strengthen logistics for online and in-store orders.

Analysts note that such smaller-format stores allow IKEA to tap into urban centres and retail parks, driving footfall while reducing reliance on full-scale warehouse locations. The York launch is expected to support local supply chains and partnerships, contributing to regional economic activity and business engagement.
