IKEA in Omaha???

Well, that would sure save me some trips down to KC.

As an aside, what is an "air balancer"?

He basically determines HVAC requirements for new structures. He's done a lot of work lately for all these new area data centers.

All of this IKEA talk made me chuckle when I saw the ad plastered to the back of a city bus in Puerto Vallarta the other day. No they don’t have their own IKEA but 170 or so miles down the highway there’s a new one in Guadalajara, a city known as the furniture Mecca of western Mexico.

Wonder how that impacts their expansion plans, if at all? I see Tennessee has a store in Nashville as well. I still strongly believe a store in the Omaha area, likely on the western edge by Gretna or even between Lincoln and Omaha would do very well.

LOL…wow. I live here and haven’t even heard about this yet that it's closing! I can’t believe it’s been open for almost a decade now. Also can’t believe it was Tennessee’s only location

They already turned the failed Memphis Pyramid in to a Bass Pro Shop, wonder what you do with a giant failed Ikea?
