The Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the US. With many of those who now call this area home coming here from all over the US and all over the world, an IKEA store would be a welcomed addition to the shopping options we currently have. Many residents make the four hour trek to Woodbridge, Virginia (Potomac Mills location) to shop at IKEA and while others in the state make the trip to the new Atlanta location. Of course, procuring larger items is a bit tricky when traveling at those distances. We, as residents of North Carolina and other supporters, wish to show our solidarity in our desire to bring an IKEA store to the area. IKEA Management: we, the undersigned, wish to present our interest in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina being considered for a future location. Thank you!

Dear Ikea, In case you hadn't heard, Apple and Google are moving to the Raleigh/Durham area. How about a store here? That means lots of people moving to the area who need to furnish their homes. Hurry!

Please consider building your next IKEA in the Raleigh Durham area. Charlotte is just too far for all the German military wives from Ft. Bragg to drive. Especially with children. Three hours there and three hour back.

IKEA, it’s time to do another market analysis on this area. The population is 2-3x more dense than back in 2017-2018 and there are no signs of this growth slowing down. Apartments, townhomes, and starter homes are being built all around the area. Judging by the demand of used Ikea items on Facebook Marketplace, I think a store in this area would perform very well - potentially better than anyone in corporate might initially expect.

I’m signing the petition only in hopes that it won’t be placed in Cary. Cary has enough stuff they don’t need more.
