TheIndonesia.id - IKEA strengthens its presence in Indonesia by building a new store in Surabaya. This iconic brand from Sweden in collaboration with the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) consistently presents Surabaya MSME products through Teras Indonesia, which is the hallmark of IKEA Indonesia.

“After opening the Pick Up Point in Surabaya last year, we want to bring home furnishings solutions and inspiration closer to the people of Surabaya through the newest IKEA Indonesia store that will be present at Ciputra World Surabaya. We are also here to make a positive impact on the local community. IKEA Surabaya will open employment opportunities for local talents and present Teras Indonesia," said President Director of PT Rumah Mebel Nusantara (IKEA Indonesia) Patrik Lindvall in a press release, Thursday, August 11, 2022.

In addition to opening up new jobs, later on, 20 percent of IKEA Indonesia employees, who came from Surabaya, will return to their hometowns to foster more innovations and contributions in their hometowns.

The IKEA Surabaya outlet will be built in an area of 9,000 square meters located on the LG Ciputra World Surabaya floor. Not only that, Swedish-style and vegetable-based food will be available at IKEA Surabaya for the people of Surabaya and its surroundings to enjoy.

"We believe the presence of IKEA Surabaya can be the right home furniture shopping center to achieve the dream residential decoration of the people of Surabaya and its surroundings," said Managing Director of Ciputra Group Harun Hajadi.
