Self-assembly furniture chain Ikea has announced the opening of its fifth plan and order point in Carlow at the end of February.

The announcement was made by Ikea’s global chief executive Jesper Brodin on a visit to Ikea’s Ballymun store in Dublin.

“The new design service will offer customers a chance to consult with IKEA’s experienced home interior designers,” the Swedish company said.

The Carlow shop is the fifth plan-and-order Ikea outlet in the Republic, following Douglas, Co Cork; Drogheda, Co Louth; Naas, Co Kildare; and Stephen’s Green, Dublin.
