Swedish furniture giant IKEA is to open a new store in New Taipei City’s Sindian District today. Located on the third and fourth floors of the MeHAS Shopping Mall jointly constructed with the MRT Xiaobitan Station, the branch will be easily accessible via public transport and is expected to draw large crowds.
This is the company’s sixth store since entering the Taiwanese market in 1994. The branch houses a Swedish restaurant with an area for visitors with children, and with a pleasant river view, the establishment by the Sindian Creek is set to be the most beautiful Swedish restaurant in the country. The store also has the first IKEA Café in northern Taiwan to open at 7am every day, to capture the breakfast market.
The Qsquare department store is set to open a branch featuring a large food court on the fifth floor of the mall in the fourth quarter of the year. The 15,000 square meter venue will house dozens of popular restaurants, such as Woosa Pancake and Mo-Mo-Paradise.
