Waterford just got a little more stylish—and a lot more Swedish.

IKEA has officially opened its seventh Plan and Order Point in Ireland, right at Tramore Road Business Park, and it’s not just another store.

It’s the largest IKEA location outside Dublin, and it’s designed to inspire.

🏡 A Space to Dream, Design, and Do

Spanning 840 square metres, this new format is eight times larger than other plan and order points across Ireland. It’s not about browsing endless aisles—it’s about personalised planning, expert advice, and walking away with 100 popular IKEA products on the same day. From KALLAX units to RÅSKOG trolleys, the essentials are right there, ready to go.

And if you’re dreaming bigger? Book a session with one of five dedicated IKEA design specialists to help shape your kitchen, wardrobe, or living room into something uniquely yours.

💼 Jobs, Joy, and Local Impact

With 15 new jobs created, including roles for local design experts, IKEA is investing in Waterford’s future. It’s not just about furniture—it’s about community, creativity, and connection.

The store also offers Click & Collect, returns, and operates on a cashless basis, making the experience smooth and modern.

🌍 A Vote of Confidence in Waterford

Local leaders are calling it a milestone. Mayor Séamus Ryan hailed it as the beginning of IKEA’s expansive plans across Ireland, while Minister Mary Butler called it a “huge vote of confidence” in Waterford’s economic strength.

This isn’t just a store—it’s a signal that Waterford is growing, thriving, and ready to welcome global brands with open arms.

🏠 From Cribs to KALLAX: Waterford’s Retail Renaissance
Here’s a little-known detail that adds a layer of local charm: the new IKEA Waterford store is housed in the former “Mum N Me” mother and baby store premises. That means the space has gone from nurturing new beginnings for families to helping them design their dream homes—a poetic evolution that quietly ties IKEA’s arrival to Waterford’s community roots. It’s a subtle nod to continuity: same location, new purpose, still serving families.
