About Us
IKEA is an international home furnishing retailer with Scandinavian roots that makes it easy to furnish every room in any home and garden.
IKEA delivers a great Scandinavian offer for everyone within sleeping and living. We are a global retail chain of stores and web shops, and part of the family-owned Lars Larsen Group.
Our founder, Lars Larsen, opened his first IKEA store in Aarhus, Denmark, in 1979. Today, IKEA has more than 3,500 stores in 50 countries around the world. 29 countries are operated directly by IKEA, while the remaining 21 countries are part of IKEA Franchise.
With thousands of stores across the world, there is often a IKEA nearby. This makes it quick to explore our assortment, and easy to bring products home. Online, we have room for even more products, and it is crucial for us to make it easy for customers to combine our great store service with our wide online assortment to give the best possible shopping experience.
This requires great employees, and our ambition is to be employees’ first choice within retail wherever IKEA is present. This means that IKEA must always be an attractive place to work, and that our employees enjoy the time they spend with us.
Although IKEA today is a global business, the company is managed based on its Scandinavian roots. This is reflected in our company culture and the way we do business.
