FORT WORTH, TEXAS — IKEA has submitted a proposal to the City of Fort Worth for the development of IKEA Fort Worth on 27 acres at the southwest corner of Interstate 35 and North Tarrant Parkway in Fort Worth. Pending necessary approvals and agreement, construction of the retail location could begin in spring 2018, with an opening of summer 2019. The 289,000-square-foot store would offer 900 parking spaces and create more than 250 jobs upon opening. This location would be the third in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and the sixth in the state of Texas.
