A new IKEA has opened south of the Swan River in Cannington, giving Perth shoppers an IKEA shopping experience like they’ve never seen before, focused on planning kitchens, wardrobes and living room storage.
Customers visiting IKEA Cannington will get one-on-one, personalised advice from an IKEA expert. They will be guided through the entire process starting with ideas and inspiration, choosing the right IKEA solutions, planning how it will work in their home, ordering the products, organising collection or home delivery, and booking any installation or assembly.
At 544 square metres, this is the third of the IKEA Plan and Order Point format in Australia, joining Highpoint in Melbourne’s west and Belrose in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. IKEA Cannington is pioneering two new features which are an Australian-first for an IKEA Plan and Order Point.
Customers visiting IKEA Cannington can shop on the spot and take home IKEA home furnishing accessories. Up to 100 products are on display for immediate purchase, including storage boxes and drawer inserts, kitchen organisation items, cooking utensils, food storage containers, and the IKEA blue FRAKTA bag.
In another Australian first, IKEA Cannington has a pick-up point on site, allowing customers to place an order for any products from the full IKEA range online or via remote shopping and choose the option to pick up from Cannington, in addition to the existing IKEA Perth store at Innaloo.
IKEA Cannington manager, Simba Mashanyare said, “Opening IKEA Cannington signals our ambitions for building on our strong presence in the Perth market. We know accessing our store has been a barrier for those customers who live or work south of the Swan River and a more convenient location means they can more easily visit us to take advantage of IKEA home furnishing expertise and inspiration to create a better life at home.
“We have put the customer at the centre of how we designed this new Plan and Order Point. We are not only offering personalised one-on-one planning, but the ability to pick up orders right from IKEA Cannington as well as purchase key products to take home on the spot. These are things our customers have told us they want at an IKEA Plan and Order Point and we think they will be welcomed enthusiastically by Perth shoppers.”
