IKEA is opening branches with new shopping rules


Those who are redecorating and need to furnish their home will be pleased to know that IKEA is re-opening. The firm has announced that it is going to open its branches in the UK and in Ireland. However, there will be new rules that shoppers will have to follow for safety purposes.

The opening will take place as from the 1st of June and 19 branches will start operating. The furniture store chain announced that as part of security measures, it is going to limit the number of clients in its outlets. Moreover, it has requested families not to visit together if possible. Shoppers will be allowed to bring only one other person from the same household. Children can be brought along if special assistance is required.

Additionally, there will be a queuing system to manage entry into the store. Inside the shop, customers will be prompted to maintain social distancing with the help of co-workers and signage. The firm has also announced that there will be more cleaning and sterilising.

 On the 1st of June, several retailers will start welcoming the public into their stores as per the latest Government lockdown lifting. Other brands selling the same type of goods as Ikea will also reopen. They are Furniture Village and DFS.
