IKEA Shibuya to Open on November 30 Swedish Bistro to offer tasty, Earth-friendly veggie hot dogs
CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer Helene von Reis said, “We are so excited to open our very first city shop in the heart of Shibuya! We could not wish for a more iconic area to continue our city expansion to meet the many Tokyoites. The shop will be a 7 floor mini IKEA experience where you can find 1800 products for direct take away and order the rest online.“
Eight room-sets will provide hints for a wide range of lifestyles and family structures, reflecting IKEA’s commitment to inspire customers with innovative ideas, especially at a time when people are spending more time than ever at home. IKEA Shibuya will also feature a smart-home experience area and a section for children’s furniture and toys.
“We continue our focus on plant based food and are proud to present the Swedish Bistro, First in the world to serve only veggie dogs based menu, in many delicious and creative ways,” added von Reis. “In the shop you will also find many home furnishing solutions and products focusing on how you can create a comfortable and sustainable home saving both money and the planet. All to support the IKEA goal of becoming climate neutral by 2030.”
Restaurants on the seventh floor of IKEA Shibuya will open in spring 2021.
