The January 30 opening of Qatar’s first Ikea store, part of the QR6bn Doha Festival City’s first phase, has been postponed, Gulf Times has learnt. Workers were seen yesterday wrapping up the bright yellow Ikea signs placed all around the navy blue colour building, which is in the final stages of completion. The 32,000sqm store of Ikea, the world’s leading home furnishing company from Sweden, is slated to have about 1,300 car parks and more than 540 seats for its restaurant. Located beside Al Shamal Road and just 20 minutes from Doha International Airport, Doha Festival City is owned and developed by Bawabat al-Shamal Real Estate Company, PICTURE: Thomas Bonnie James.
