Store Openings: Home Depot, Ikea, Revolve, World Market

The latest store-opening announcements from a variety of retailers:

IKEA U.S. (Conshohocken, Pa.) plans eight new smaller-format store in 2025: That information was included in the company’s FY24 Annual Summary.

Seven of the eight new stores will be the retailer’s smaller new Plan & Order points with Pick-Up. They will be in Cherry Hill, Pa., Hunt Valley, Md., Beaverton, Ore., Scottsdale, Ariz., and three locations in Southern California – Thousand Oaks, Ontario and Colma – as well as one Pick-Up Point in Santa Monica. All of the new format stores are projected to open by the spring/summer of 2025.

The Plan & Order Points with Pick-Up format is different from the brand’s traditional large-format stores, giving customers the opportunity to meet with the IKEA store team to plan and order home furnishing solutions that require a bit more help – such as kitchen, bathroom and closet storage systems. With the addition of the IKEA Pick-up point, customers will be able to collect their purchases when and where it’s convenient for them.

Ikea U.S. is a unit of Leiden, Netherlands-based Ingka Group, which operates 375 IKEA stores in 30 countries, including 51 in the U.S.

The Home Depot (Atlanta) plans 13 new stores in 2025: The home-improvement retailer disclosed that number in its fiscal 2024 financial results. At the end lof ast year, the company operated a total of 2347 retail stores and more than 780 branches across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico.

Revolve Group (Cerritos, Calif.) is converting its once limited-time holiday shop at The Grove shopping complex in Los Angeles into a permanent store this fall. The space will temporarily close for renovations before reopening with a fresh look.

“Expanding our physical presence is a natural evolution of our retail strategy,” Michael Mente, Co-Founder and Co-CEO. “After years of successful pop-ups and activations – including incredible success in Aspen – establishing a store in Los Angeles allows us to bring our REVOLVE and FWRD brands to life in a dynamic, real-world setting. This space will transcend traditional shopping, bringing our digital-native brand to life by seamlessly blending fashion, discovery and experience.”

World Market (Alameda, Calif.) will open its 14th store in Florida later this week: The 18,400-square-foot space is slated to open Feb. 28 the Sarasota Pavilion shopping center. The chain, which operates a total of 245 stores, features casual home decor and furniture, housewares, gifts, jewelry, decorative accessories, wines, gourmet foods and other beverages.
