How will they evolve? Doesn’t IKEA also sell food items? Wonder if they’ll expand and go into groceries, and compete with Amazon/Whole Foods and Lidl?

Wonder if they’ll expand and go into groceries They do have a cafeteria and then a frozen/dried goods area in all of their stores that I've been to. Selling perishables (e.g. fresh veggies) is a whole 'nother beast from selling frozen/dried goods and would be effectively trying to enter into an entirely new market.

- alpinemeadow 7y agoYes! We do sell food items and I can tell you that all these new touch points for meeting the customer will have food ... we need to be where the people are, online and downtown.
