IKEA EXPANDS IN BENGALURU, SET TO OPEN SECOND STORE AT KONANAKUNTE CROSS
80,000-sq-ft city store to bring over 5,200 products closer to South Bengaluru customers
BENGALURU, October 29, 2026: IKEA India is set to open its second store in Bengaluru on November 5 at Purva Zentech on Kanakapura Main Road, bringing its range of home furnishing products and services closer to customers in South Bengaluru and surrounding areas.
Spread across 80,000 sq. ft., the new store is located within walking distance of Konanakunte Cross Metro Station. It will offer more than 5,200 products, including over 3,000 items available for immediate takeaway. Customers can also order from IKEA’s complete range of over 7,000 products through the store, website, mobile app and Shop by Phone service.
The store also features a 100-seater IKEA Restaurant serving Swedish favourites and local food options, allowing shoppers to take a break during their visit.
Patrik Antoni, CEO of IKEA India, said Bengaluru had played an important role in the company’s journey in the country. Over the past five years, IKEA has gained insights into local customers’ lifestyles, preferences and changing home furnishing needs.
He said the new store had been designed around these insights and marked another milestone in IKEA’s efforts to improve accessibility and convenience for customers in the city.
FOCUS ON CHANGING HOME FURNISHING NEEDS
The new store aims to address the diverse housing needs of South Bengaluru, where traditional family homes coexist with modern apartments and compact living spaces.
With hybrid working becoming increasingly common, homes are now expected to accommodate multiple activities, including work, family time, hobbies and social gatherings. This has increased the demand for multifunctional furniture, practical storage solutions and space-saving designs.
Outdoor spaces such as balconies and terraces are also gaining importance, with residents transforming them into gardening corners, reading spaces and areas for entertaining guests.
The Konanakunte Cross store will feature a range of room settings and home furnishing ideas designed to help customers make better use of their living spaces. The displays will offer solutions for different household requirements, budgets and personal preferences, whether customers are setting up a new home, reorganising existing spaces or looking for functional furniture.
To make the shopping experience more convenient, IKEA will also offer services including home furnishing planning, delivery, assembly and installation.
GROWING PRESENCE IN BENGALURU
IKEA began its Bengaluru journey through e-commerce in 2021 and opened its first store in the city in 2022. The company now has a community of more than 9 lakh IKEA Family members in Bengaluru.
Across India, IKEA reaches more than 300 million visitors through its online and offline channels and has over 3 million IKEA Family members.
The opening of the Konanakunte Cross store is part of IKEA India’s broader omnichannel expansion strategy, which combines large-format stores, smaller city stores and digital shopping platforms to reach more customers.
With its new South Bengaluru outlet, IKEA aims to make home furnishing more accessible and convenient while offering customers a wider choice of products and practical solutions for everyday living.
