If I remember correctly, Winnipeg was, and still is, too small for the typical Ikea placement (I think they usually insist on a population of 1 million or more?). If we had to kiss some Swedish butt and adjust a road and signage, I personally think it was worth it...and I never bought from Ikea before they came here.
Anyhoo, since this is the P & M thread, I'm looking forward to seeing some plans and timelines for the re-opening.

There are plenty of Ikea stores in population centres of less than a million. Quebec City and Halifax to name two others in Canada.
