On May 17th S.A.C.I. Falabella and Inter IKEA Systems B.V., owner of the IKEA Concept and international franchisor of IKEA, signed a memorandum of understanding for the granting of franchise rights in Chile, Colombia and Peru to S.A.C.I. Falabella.<\/em><\/p>\n

The objective is to open at least nine stores in Chile, Colombia and Peru in a period of 10 years, along with online sales channels for these three countries. It is expected that the first store will open in the city of Santiago at the end of 2020, to continue later with openings in Lima and Bogot\u00e1.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are of course very excited to bring IKEA to South America together with Falabella, who is a strong local partner with a lot of experience in developing and successfully operating retail businesses. They also have a well-developed distribution network in the region, which will give us the speed we need to be more accessible to the many. Together we\u2019ll work to make IKEA a loved and meaningful brand for the people in Chile, Colombia and Peru<\/em>,\u201d says Torbj\u00f6rn L\u00f6\u00f6f, CEO Inter IKEA Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will bring to the three countries the full experience of IKEA, with stores and online sales such as those already existing in Europe, the United States and Asia. IKEA will complement the current offer of products and services of our home improvement subsidiary Sodimac. As has happened in other countries, we want IKEA to become one of the favorite brands of Chileans, Peruvians and Colombians<\/em>,\" says Sandro Solari, CEO of S.A.C.I. Falabella.<\/p>\n

In America IKEA is active in Canada with 13 stores, in the USA with 47 stores, and in the Dominican Republic with one store. In Mexico Inter IKEA Systems B.V. granted the Ikano Group exclusive rights to explore expansion opportunities in the country. The Ikano Group has a long and proud association with the IKEA brand, and has a strong record in successfully operating IKEA stores in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Ikano opened an office in Mexico City in April 2017.<\/p>\n

Today IKEA reaches 1.2 billion customers. By 2025 IKEA aims to reach 3.2 billion customers in stores and online. There are currently 418 stores in 49 markets, and IKEA is constantly investigating expansion opportunities with the aim to reach more of the many people. IKEA expansion focuses on both existing and new markets.<\/p>\n

S.A.C.I. Falabella is a Chile based multinational company and one of the largest retail companies in South America. It operates in several business areas, the main ones being department stores, home improvement, supermarkets, financial services (bank, credit cards, insurance) and shopping malls.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
