CENTENNIAL, COLO. — IKEA has broken ground for its 38th store in the United States, a 415,000-square-foot location situated north of the Park Meadows area in Centennial. The Swedish home-furnishings retailer’s Denver-area store is scheduled to open in fall 2011. To be built on 13.5 acres along the western side of Interstate 25 with approximately 1,500 parking spaces, IKEA Centennial will be the first company store in the country to incorporate a geothermal component as part of its heating/cooling system.
