There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love spending hours browsing IKEA’s selection of DIY furniture, and those who dread the IKEA shopping experience. The only thing both of these people can agree on is that IKEA makes a good Swedish meatball. Everyone who walks into IKEA’s cafeteria will immediately react as Homer Simpson is wont to do, saying: “Mmmmm…IKEA meatballs.” Although we all know the name IKEA, very few people actually know what these letters stand for. IKEA is an acronym, with the IK standing for Ingvar Kamprad (the store’s founder), the E standing for Elmtaryd (Kamprad’s farm), and the A standing for Agunnaryd (Kamprad’s hometown).
Believe it or not, Kamprad founded IKEA way back in 1943 when he was only a 17-year-old Swedish lad. Today, Kamprad is still raking in the dough at the amazing age of 90. Since 2008, IKEA has officially been designated the most successful furniture retailer on the planet. IKEA’s 392 stores can be found in almost 50 countries around the world, including America, France, and Canada.

- Hey, don’t you know it’s the 2017? You need to get an app for this, an app for that, and an app for this-and-that-and-the-other-thing! So, why not start your app collection with this free IKEA app. You can download this handy application for free on both Apple and Android devices.
Although IKEA has its main headquarters in the Netherlands, it’ll cost you a pretty penny in postage to send a letter there from North America. It’s far better for all Canadians to use this address:
IKEA Canada Head Office
1065 Plains Road East
Burlington, Ontario
L7T 4K1
IKEA suggests putting both your telephone and email address into your letter so they can send a reply in a timely fashion. You should receive a response within around five business days.

A very rude employee at North York location Ont insulted me verbally, reached Ryan K, spoke person to escalate. He replied that the camera didn’t capture me in time. Also, he said that the camera had no audio and when the employee verbally insulted me in front of other employee and my family, it didn’t capture the insult and concluded that all was my presumption and no apology made. It seems that Ikea is happy with their rude employee and that is the culture there, 3 times I asked for a callback from the store manger but no responses.
