If you have not heard that Ikea opened in Frisco, you must not care about furniture.
Ikea is a 300,000sq/ft monstrosity of low priced, yet supposed high quality furniture. My Mom has been pumped about the grand opening for weeks so she has been waiting for my day off so I could escort her.
The parking lot is HUGE and it was completely full. We were directed by parkers to a spot in a nearby parking lot. We joined a stream of people filing into the store at 11:00 in the morning. The process reminded me of showing up early in the morning and heading into Six Flags.
The store itself is massive. They have about anything furniture related you could want. Ikea had a lot of unique pieces and designs that you will not find at Rooms to Go or a Roomstore, so I give them props for that. We were not in need of any particular piece of furniture so we made it out empty handed, but we were in the minority.
My mom has already planned a trip back (with my Dad...Lord bless him!) if you were curious about her perspective.
As for me, I thought it illustrated the American “bigger is better” attitude (although it is Swedish furniture). They had some cool stuff, and if I am looking for a particular piece I will probably go back. I guess I would sum it up as Ikea was two hours of my life I can never have back… Just kidding, it was not that bad.
By the way...I ran into Pastor Tommy there. He had his Bluetooth on and looked lost...Happy Trails, to you…
