IKEA’s third Colorado store set to open in 2026

Some Colorado residents were so against a second Colorado Buc-ee’s location that they derailed the plans. Maybe our state likes Swedish meatballs more than Buc-ee’s Beaver Nuggets, because IKEA is getting a third Colorado location.

The 64,000-square-foot IKEA will be located in Fort Collins at the Front Range Village Shopping Center at 4250 Corbett Drive, but that’s only approximately a sixth the size of the first Colorado IKEA store that opened in Centennial in 2011.

The store will be the third IKEA in Colorado, joining an even smaller “plan and order point” store that opened in Colorado Springs last year.

Fort Collins’ IKEA will have 3,200 items for immediate takeaway including home furnishing accessories and 250 small furniture items. IKEA said the store will also sell meatballs, plant balls, hot dogs, veggie dogs, plant dogs and cinnamon buns.

Although no exact opening date was announced, the company did say the new store will open in 2026.
