IKEA U.S. and Best Buy launch a shop-in-shop pilot across 10 Florida and Texas stores, with 1,000-sq-ft IKEA spaces focused on kitchen and laundry layouts. Two locations will also serve as IKEA.com order pickup points.

Why this matters

IKEA continues experimenting with smaller footprints and partner-hosted formats beyond its big-box stores, now pairing with Best Buy to reach mid-tier U.S. metros without standalone builds.

Retail-brand activity steady at 199 signals in the last 90 days.
