DFW is getting its third IKEA:
IKEA submits plans for Fort Worth store
Quote:
|
The Swedish company is proposing a 289,000-square-foot location to be built on 27 acres at the southwestern corner of I-35 and North Tarrant Parkway. The store, which would be situated 10 miles north of downtown Fort Worth, is expected to employ 500 workers during construction and 250 to staff the store once it opens.

According to plans, the location would feature 10,000 items, 50 room settings, three model home interiors, a supervised children’s play area and a 325-seat restaurant serving favorites like Swedish meatballs.
And it would cut down on carbon emissions though measures like recycling waste material and light bulbs; incorporating energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning and lighting systems; using recycled construction materials; building warehouse skylights and water-efficient bathrooms; and eliminating plastic bags at check outs. 
If approved, construction would begin in spring 2018 and open in summer 2019.
