IKEA? Residents of Szczecin have been waiting for years …

The opening of the Swedish store in Szczecin has sparked the imagination of residents of the city and region for years. Rumors about its construction date back at least 5 years, when plans and visualizations for the giant facility, which will be located near the Auchan shopping center in Ostau, in the municipality of Kuipasco, were published on the Internet. However, the head of Kołbaskowo, Małgorzata Schwarz, soon cut short the speculation.

Rumors only turned to something more in 2019. Adrian Cerkowniak, a Gumieńce residential property consultant, posted on social media a screen announcing the development of the area on Biaowieska Street and Mieszko I.

You can read in it that the plot of land was intended for building an exhibition, service and commercial facility with the accompanying infrastructure. Although IKEA did not officially confirm the construction at the time, it did not deny it either. After a few weeks, everything is clear, and you will be able to visit the Ikea store in Szczecin.
