ANTIOCH, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Swedish furniture company IKEA has officially cancelled its plans to build a Nashville location.
Last May the company announced that it would begin plans for a store in Antioch between Cane Ridge and Old Franklin roads.
Latisha Bracy with IKEA North America Services sent this statement to WKRN Mews 2 Wednesday morning:
“While this is an extremely difficult decision, we will not be moving forward with our plans to build a store in Nashville, TN. We thank the city and the developer for their understanding of this recent decision. We are looking to expand to more urban city centers to be more accessible to more consumers. As a result, some of our expansion plans may change, but at the same time, we are also investing in our e-commerce and services to ensure customers can access IKEA no matter where they are.”
