Ikea is expanding its presence in the Philippines by inaugurating its inaugural Plan and Order Shop through a strategic collaboration with Ayala Malls. This initiative aims to provide more convenient access to northern Metro Manila residents.
The 500-square-meter store, situated in Ayala Malls TriNoma in Quezon City, will avail customers the opportunity to purchase selected items in-store and also function as a complimentary pick-up point for online orders.
Ricardo Pinheiro, Ikea Philippines’ Country Retail Manager, expressed his elation about being able to serve more Filipinos, especially those in northern Manila. He noted the partnership between Ikea and Ayala Malls as an effective means to create spaces that are not only accessible but also convenient and inspiring.
Adding to its unique features, the new store will house a design service. Here, customers can seek expert assistance in planning their home interiors from a team of 14 Ikea employees, each trained in interior design.
Pinheiro highlighted that the new Plan and Order Shop at TriNoma encapsulates Ikea’s democratic design philosophy. He mentioned that it provides a convenient option for those residing in northern Metro Manila. He also acknowledged the strategic location of TriNoma as being in line with Ikea’s sustainability philosophy.
He emphasized, “TriNoma’s strategic location aligns with our sustainable philosophy in the most practical sense—it saves our customers gas, time, and effort while still giving access to Ikea’s well-designed, affordable home solutions.”
The TriNoma outlet, set to open its doors on October 23, marks Ikea’s second store in the country.
