Ikea Canada announced on Thursday that it will open its first full-size store in Quebec City.
 

The store will be approximately 340,000 square feet and will be located in the Sainte-Foy borough, at the intersection of Highway 40 and Highway 540. The store will take roughly 14 to 16 months to build. It is scheduled to open in the summer of 2018 and will be the 14th Ikea store in Canada.
 
Currently, Ikea has a Pick-up and order point in Quebec City that is about one-tenth the size of its average store.

"It was clear from the first day we opened the Pick-up and order point that Quebec City residents are passionate supporters of the Ikea brand," says Ikea Canada Acting President David McCabe, in a news statement. "We look forward to welcoming many more customers to the new Ikea store when it opens in summer 2018."
 
In November 2015, Ikea Canada announced a coast-to-coast expansion plan to double its store count from 12 to 24 stores in the next 10 years. The Quebec City store is the second stop on this journey.
