Russians in Tyumen believe that IKEA will open a store near them

A day ago, Sweden’s Defense Minister Pal Jonsson officially warned citizens that they must be realistic and prepare for a possible war with Russia.

Against the background of these news, the probability that the Swedish giant will return to Russia seems negligible, although people there dream of it more than the territorial expansion at the expense of neighboring countries.

This is what the Tyumen website 72.ru says.

Many residents of Tyumen still wonder if an IKEA hypermarket will ever appear in Tyumen.

The Swedes postponed in 2018 the purchase of a site for its construction, which was located near the Yamalsky-2 microdistrict (between Chervishevsky and Moskovskaya tracts – Ed.), due to the death of the founder of their company, Ingvar Kamprad.

It later became known that IKEA representatives had stopped negotiations with the regional government.

Governor Alexander Moore has repeatedly noted that if the investor decides to return to this topic, then our city is ready to continue negotiations and look for a suitable location.

True, in light of current events, this topic may be closed. In 2022, IKEA officially left Russia.
