Until our middle class has the moms and dads with the time and energy to assemble living rooms from planks of wood and boxes of screws, IKEA will not come close to us.Ofcourse, like many other now-tarnished brands, these standards apply to corporate stores, and a rich Jordanian franchisee will surely buy a license someday and not adhere to their corporate image and follow his/her own agenda (like Starbucks, Burger King, Hardee's, Marriott), and build it the way they want and sell what they want and call it the same brand.:-) IKEA recently surveyed a portion of my city (Orlando, FL) to determine market eligibility to open a branch.

IKEA does not target rich folk, and never will, it’s in their mission statement to supply to the middle class. Until our middle class has the moms and dads with the time and energy to assemble living rooms from planks of wood and boxes of screws, IKEA will not come close to us.

Ofcourse, like many other now-tarnished brands, these standards apply to corporate stores, and a rich Jordanian franchisee will surely buy a license someday and not adhere to their corporate image and follow his/her own agenda (like Starbucks, Burger King, Hardee’s, Marriott), and build it the way they want and sell what they want and call it the same brand.
