IKEA in France
Posted by Céline on novembre 6th, 2007
This is it ! IKEA finally received approval for the implemantation of a logistics platform in Fos-sur-Mer near Marseille. The site should employ about 500 persons within 3 years time.
With a platform in Lyon and Marseille, the Eastern south of France is well supplied by the Swedish group. Further West, there is still room for another platform.
The western part of France hosts about 5 stores among which the store of Nantes which is the 2nd in France in terms of sales (2.7 millions of customers per year !). Our Atlantic seaports (Nantes-Saint Nazaire and La Rochelle) can easily ship and receive the goods with feeder lines from Northern European ports. The Swedish group is welcome anytime !
