This past week, 14 new building permits were issued across the state for construction projects exceeding $1 million. Perhaps none of these projects are more anticipated than the new IKEA store opening in Huntsville.

Yes, the rumors are true, IKEA is coming to Huntsville. This will, however, be a scaled down version of a typical IKEA store. This one will be about a sixth of the size, and most of the merchandise is for display purposes only and will have to be shipped to you after purchase.

This Huntsville location, at 6125 University Dr NW, Huntsville, AL 35806, will include:

  • 5,000 products in fully furnished room settings, including a selection of over 2,000 items available for take-home
  • Other products available for purchase online, with free pickup at the Huntsville location
  • An “As-Is Department,” offering gently used products, discontinued items, and a range of affordable furnishings
  • A central planning area where customers can meet one-on-on with IKEA planners
  • On-site restaurant 

The store is set to open in the spring of 2026.
