The new IKEA Plan and Order Point will be opening up in Waterford on Thursday morning, 17 July at 10am.

Located at the Tramore Road Business Park on the Tramore Road just outside of Waterford City, the newest store will be the largest outside of Dublin.

The Waterford store will create 15 local jobs and is part of IKEA's plans to enhance the Plan and Order Point experience.
