India Today
IKEA opened its first outlet at Nagasandra in Bengaluru. And people didn’t waste a second of their precious Sunday by not going to the store.
If you have been to Twitter recently, you probably have seen the word IKEA on the trending list. Now, if you’re from Bengaluru, we really don’t need to elaborate on the reason as to why IKEA is trending. But if you are from any other part of the country, then let us enlighten you.
So, the Swedish furniture company has opened its first outlet at Nagasandra in Bengaluru. And people didn’t waste a second of their precious Sunday by not going to the store. While it took around three hours for many customers to enter the store, many were forced to return home without even getting an entry.
IKEA even tweeted a post about the overwhelming response. "Bengaluru, we are overwhelmed by your response. Current wait time at Nagasandra store is 3 hours. Please plan accordingly or shop online. For latest wait time updates,” read the caption.
Take a look at the video of the crowd taken by a netizen:
