IKEA will open its first Oklahoma store on Friday, Oct. 23, at Tulsa Hills Shopping Center. A grand-opening celebration will begin at 8 a.m., and the 51,000-square-foot, smaller-format store will open to shoppers at 10 a.m.; regular hours will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The location, previously occupied by Belk, will feature furnished room displays, planning consultations, Swedish food, more than 5,000 products on display and over 3,000 items available for immediate take-home, with larger purchases available for pickup or delivery. IKEA will donate $10,000 to Tulsa nonprofit Family & Children’s Services, and the project received a $2.5 million city economic development incentive.
