Ikea shoppers in Charlotte and Austin will soon have fewer options for home design consultations and pickup services.<\/p>\n

The Sweden-founded retail giant is closing its South Charlotte and Austin-Domain, Texas, “Plan & order point with Pick-up” locations on Aug. 30, 2026, according to notices posted on the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The smaller-format sites allow customers to get help with planning kitchens, rooms and business spaces, while also offering pickup services.<\/p>\n

Both locations will remain open for planning appointments until their closure dates, according to Ikea.<\/p>\n

Ikea said the closures are part of its strategy to build a “more affordable, accessible and sustainable future” in the U.S.<\/p>\n

“We continue to test, explore and develop new ways for customers to meet Ikea, while investing in home delivery, pick-up services and our online experience,” the retailer said.<\/p>\n

Customers with existing kitchen, room or business planning projects at either location can finish them before the closure date.\u00a0<\/p>\n
