ikea atlanta
ikea atlanta opened on 29th june, and this is exciting because i absolutely love ikea. not only do i love their furniture and housewares, but i also love all the swedish goodies and of course the lingonberry soda.
a couple days before ikea opened, my brother drove by on his way home from the airport. there were already people camping outside! although i can’t really blame them because if i hadn’t been so busy with dudley, i might’ve been tempted to do the same because the 1st adult in line on opening day received $4,000 in ikea gift cards. the next 5 people received a mini room setting, and the next 100 received a free chair.
i went to ikea last sunday, and the place was a zoo; there were even police directing traffic around the store. it took me 15–20 minutes to find a place to park, and i had to wait 30 minutes just to get inside the store.
thankfully i didn’t go to shop for housewares. i had just wanted to buy some swedish food and see the crazy crowds of people.
