My understanding is they are still interested but no decision is imminent.

Lol, the boys at Ikea aren’t idiots. We’re sitting on $50 oil and the front-end of a business recession. There’s zero chance that Ikea sites a location in OKC under these circumstances.
Wonder if this will have impact on OKC ever getting a store?
Ikea is closing its only US factory and moving production to Europe

Any news on Ikea coming to OKC?
Recently OKC has been determined to be the 22nd biggest city in the USA. I would think that could be a factor. OKC is growing with MAPS and new businesses. OKC is not sitting and becoming stale. It is always looking for improvement and a better quality of life. Now if we could get the schools in-line.

Maybe they’ll build an in&out next to it too
Memphis has an Ikea and that market is in par with OKC in terms of population. Nashville, which is larger and about the same distance as OKC to DFW, does not have one.
Nope, talking about Pete directly.

And I'm not saying he absolutely said one is being built. But he seems to feel halfway strongly about it, so it can't be simply a rumor. Gotta be more to it than that.
OKC actually passed Memphis, first in metro a while ago and recently in city population as well. OKC is now a better peer for Nashville which is still a little bit bigger.
It is interesting that Memphis and Milwaukee have IKEA yet OKC and Nashville (both of which are larger than the former) don't.

My guess is tax incentives got the one in Memphis more than the market. Can't comment on Milwaukee.
maybe overflow from Chicago?
Anyway - OKC definitely should get one. We're inbetween DFW and KCMO and the store would have the entire Oklahoma and S Kansas market area. Memorial Road corridor would be perfect location.
