GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS — IKEA has announced that construction on its 290,000-square-foot location in Grand Prairie, set to open in fall 2017, has progressed to the point of installing the company’s iconic blue panels. The Swedish furniture outlet, which already operates one DFW location in Frisco, will be situated on 30 acres along the eastern side of Highway 161 and Mayfield Road, roughly midway between downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth. IKEA recently announced plans for two new Texas locations to be opened in summer 2019 as well, one in Fort Worth and the other in San Antonio.
