Looks to be as big as the one on the #1 highway near Vancouver.

Nothing against Ikea, our place has its share of Swedish goods, but, once you move out and go there every month for the first few months, you've seen it all.

The catalog doesn't really churn, or are there many sales. Decent quality, and some handy things for reasonable prices.

Some people can't get enough of it..we go about once a year now.

The only advantage to size is that they will have most things always in stock, as opposed to have to order something.

I've heard it's supposed to be one of the biggest ikea's in the world. Just ridiculous.

If you need a boobli or pult then get right down there.
Seriously? Someone is in line?

Grown people jump around with no shame like kooks, then wrestle little kids to get a $.50 t-shirt at the Saddledome, so it doesn't surprise me.

Especially since she won't miss our EI payment since its after the 1st and before the 15th....

Does this mean the NE one will be closing down? Is it already shut? That's the place to go if the miracle of a giant IKEA and a Svėrige Stompeed don't interest you. It'll be deserted.

mwahahaha

Exactly what I was thinking. Man, I'd hate to see this broad's house in 5 years after her Swedish klaaarkergeck sofa made of garbage particle board and held together with screws a dyslexic engineer came up with turns into exactly that.....garbage.

They were interviewing her on CBC this morning and there was a story on her tonite on TV.

They have amazing chocolate oatmealy cookies though. Buy a box of these muthas, they are amazing.

They look like this but in a way bigger box. CRISPY goodness in every bite.

Those cookies are the Devil!

If anything, they should make the package smaller so I don't have to suck so much air after a shift in hockey...

Yeah but how about those hot dogs and pour it yourself ice cream at the end of the maze. I have this theory that there is some kind of psychological experiment going on there to see how fast it takes us men to get through the maze to the cheeze at the end, all the tacky stuff they sell is just a guise.

Yup. Ikea never has more than one store in any city.

As for the woman in line, she isnt from Edmonton, is she? I remember the mulletville papers bragging about the two idiots who drove down to Calgary to be first in line for Krispy Kreme's. Although if that is what they need up there to justify their existances, I guess I can't begrudge them that...

Well if your breakfast routine falls into the 10am-11am timeframe I guess it may work for you.
