Ikea in SAC
 

68 people are already in line with sleeping bags and such waiting for Ikea to open tommorrow morning at 9. Now maybe it's just me but don't they realize that the Ikea in Richmond/Berkeley is only an hour away? Id rather drive an hour than sit in the rain, wind and (tornadoes)! What exactly is the appeal- besides meatballs?

I will definitely be visiting when it opens! :thumbsup

Dont forget your sleeping bag, folding lawn chair, and handheld poker game!

i think maybe ikea does promos on the first people the come in to their newly opened stores no?

They stampeded at our opening a few months back - they had to close again for a week - lol

and why is that so fucked up? - I live in Central London and they have another one 10 mins in every direction :1orglaugh

I think thats what gets me. I used to live in Copenhagen, a quick 10 minute train ride from malmo, sweden and I swear anywhere you looked in either city, all you saw were Ikea stores. Its sorta like we have wal-marts on everycorner, they have Ikeas!

Dont forget to eat the ikea meatballs with lingonberry sauce, they are really really really really reayy goooood :xomunch

I need to gu their just to get a bag of frozen meatballs to eat at home, damn its good. damn damn damn.

Sometimes I just go there for the takeout, ikea meatballs are little slices of culinary heaven.

IKEA... holy shit Tomato'ville is really getting on the map. I might need to move back. I could use a 9.00 lamp.

Fuck, I haven't beent to an IKEA opening since Paramus. Maybe there will be pictures of lingonberry-slathered meatballs -- that would be nice -- :)

They normaly have rediculous deal on the opening day, when the store opened here I think the first person through the door for $2000 worth of vouchers and the next 50 people for a free sofa or something.

my gf's so damn crazy about ikea... if not for my insistence, we might end up falling in line with our sleeping bags, too.

Ok that's it
 

Channel 3 says a couple of guys there started ordering pizza, way to put those cell phones to use guys! I am soooo tempted to drive out there just to get pictures of this madness!!!

lol, Ikea isn't that great

affordable items that are somewhat trendy looking and since they didn't cost much you can replace when they aren't trendy. Also, a lot of ideas for making the most of small spaces which is why they are popular with city folk.

It happened in the UK when they opened a new store. The store had to shut down due to to many people attending!

here there were a huge campaigne that the new shopping center will be opened and the prices will be at the beginning too small!!!
At last there were no center,thousend people-angry people and a hidden video camera.They mede a document about it and won a prize also:)

haha... only 1 hour away? Wtf are they waiting for then?

i wish they would open one here in Costa Rica
