MANILA - IKEA's store in the Philippines officially opened to the public Thursday, in a ceremony led by company representatives, local government officials and the new Swedish envoy to the Philippines.
Preparations for the Philippine branch began in 2016, while the construction was first announced in 2018. It was supposed to open in 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic. IKEA said it would keep the maximum number of people inside its 5-storey building to half of its capacity, including staff, at any given time.With the opening, at least 600 workers were directly hired, while another 1,000 job opportunities were generated in other areas such as security and logistics, Platzer said.
IKEA earlier assured the public that stocks are enough for its opening despite the supply chain and logistics problems it encountered due to the pandemic.
