IKEA Gaithersburg Hosting Free Housewarming Party With Giveaways

GAITHERSBURG, MD — IKEA is holding a housewarming party for its new store in Gaithersburg on Wednesday.

The new "plan and order point" store is not like other IKEA stores. This store provides inspiration and ideas for the home and offers customers one-on-one consultation services for kitchen design, bedroom and bathroom ideas, small space living recommendations and other services.

The party at the Gaithersburg store, at 101 Boardwalk Place, will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

There will be a short presentation from the store manager and local elected officials, followed by tours of the new space, giveaways, free food and drinks. The first 50 IKEA Family members will receive a $25 IKEA gift card, and the first 100 IKEA Family members will receive a free FRAKTA bag.

The first 10 customers to plan and purchase at the new IKEA Gaithersburg store will receive a $50 IKEA gift. Customers can also spin the IKEA prize wheel from 11am - 2pm in front of the store.

IKEA has been on the outskirts of the D.C. area for more than 35 years, with large-format IKEA stores in Woodbridge and College Park. IKEA has already opened plan and order point stores in Europe and Canada.

This will be the third IKEA plan and order point in the area. IKEA opened the first two in Arlington and Fairfax in 2023.
