Ikea to enlarge building in Saint-Laurent
Ikea is starting work to enlarge its building in Saint-Laurent, which will make it the biggest Ikea in North America. I just go flønk thinking about it.

That should be “flönk.” Swedish uses the “ö” while Danish and Norwegian use the “ø.”

I kind of remember that Ikea was somewhere in or near downtown Montreal before moving to Canvendish. Does anyone know where it was?

It was in Alexis Nihon, either where the Canadian Tire or Winners is today, although the warehouse was somewhere in either Lachine or Lasalle.

Sorry, I was bitten by a møøse and didn’t type that correctly.
Yes, I go flönk just thinking about it.
(And I do remember the initial Ikea at Alexis-Nihon, in the west end of the mall.)

We must be disproportionally large IKEA shoppers around here. Not only will we have the biggest IKEA in North America, but we’ll be one of the few (perhaps only?) cities with *two* IKEA stores in the region. (The second one being in Boucherville, which for some Montrealers is closer than the VSL one.)

We must be. Everyone I know has Billy bookcases. I can construct one in about 15 minutes.

@Blork: I wouldn’t be sure of that. Toronto and Vancouver regions also have multiple locations. Toronto has four, Vancouver has two. Even in the US (which in general was late to the Ikea craze), Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, DC, Philadelphia and New York all have multiple suburban locations.
