IKEA to Swap 317,000-Sq-Ft Bolingbrook Store for Smaller Naperville Hub in 2027

IKEA will close its 317,000-square-foot Bolingbrook store in late 2027 to open a smaller, 97,079-square-foot location in Naperville’s Block 59 development. The new store, part of a national shift to compact formats, will include a Swedish Deli and Food Market. While IKEA cites better access to growing population centers, some shoppers have expressed opposition to the move. The Naperville location will replace existing tenants like Ulta Beauty and Discovery Clothing Co., which are relocating within the Brixmor-owned complex.

A $10,000 IKEA Kitchen Makeover: What We Learned the Hard Way

A $10,000 IKEA Kitchen Makeover: What We Learned the Hard Way

A couple renovated a dated 1990s kitchen for about $10,000 by DIY-installing IKEA cabinets and materials, taking two months and finishing with warm wood-toned cabinetry, a green backsplash, and beige hex tile. They highlight key lessons: pay for IKEA’s professional measuring service, start prep work earlier, and plan for a temporary kitchen to reduce disruption; also test grout color on a small patch before committing. Their experience shows thoughtful planning can be as crucial as materials to achieve a cohesive, affordable remodel.

IKEA 365+ Stainless Steel Container Tops Consumer Reports as Best Food Storage

Consumer Reports crowned IKEA’s 34-ounce 365+ stainless steel food storage container as the best overall, beating Pyrex and other brands for seal quality, durability, and versatility (oven, fridge, freezer). Priced at about $8.99 total ($6.99 for the stainless base and $2 for the plastic lid), it features a leakproof polypropylene seal and dishwasher-safe lid; a bamboo lid variant exists but is not leakproof and nearly matches the price. The container has many positive reviews on IKEA’s site and Reddit, though some users dislike the bamboo lid.
