Swedish furniture retailer IKEA has revealed plans to open a new concept store in York.

Situated on Stirling Road at Clifton Moor, the IKEA Plan and Order Point (POP) store could potentially take over a former JYSK space, which closed at the site in July last year after its lease on the unit expired.

According to a planning application, IKEA said: “A POP is a new trading concept for IKEA which they have rolled out in Preston, Aintree and Stockport to date.

“The new format caters to customers looking for a specific service for planning and buying fitted kitchen and bedroom furniture.

“The POP will provide areas to sit down with a sales representative, along with areas to display samples of materials, colours, finishes etc.

“When a customer has designed their kitchen and/or bedroom, the customer would pay for the fitted kitchen/bedroom chosen, which would then be delivered to their home address.”
