IKEA, one of the leading home furnishings retailers in the world, will open a second location in the Atlanta-area, this time in Cobb County, the company said Wednesday. The store has signed on to open a store in Marietta on 28 acres on Franklin Gateway.
The $9 million project is being hauled by Marietta officials as the biggest retail development in the city’s history. It is not known yet when the location will open.
“The city has worked very diligently on the redevelopment of the Franklin corridor and ikea would like to be part of that redevelopment,” Jim Anastos, an IKEA real estate manager, told the AJC.
IKEA opened at Atlantic Station in Midtown in 2005, its first imprint in the Southeast.
The city has some good restaurants in each quadrant of the city: East, West, North, South. All you need to do is think about what you have a taste for. Italian? Soul food? Tex-Mex? Atlanta has it all.
