Hej, IKEA!

Nice to meet you.

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Tulsa: a creative, resilient, and vibrant city in northeast Oklahoma.

Tulsa and IKEA have a lot in common: We’re high-quality and surprisingly affordable.

We value creativity and resourcefulness.

And we have really good food and customer experience, which we hope you'll experience in-person for yourselves at our Tulsmå Restaurant.

Consider this our heartfelt plea for an IKEA store in the heartland of America.

All our love,
Tulsa

I so enjoy shopping IKEA — gone to them in Houston DFW area, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Pittsburg. Sure would be awesome to have IKEA in Tulsa!

We moved here from Fishers, Indiana, where we were so blessed to have a wonderful Ikea just five minutes away.  When we moved to Tulsa, we loaded up everything we could in our car from the local Ikea to drive it 10 hours to Tulsa, and have since placed two other direct ship orders to fill our whole apartment with your wonderful stuff.  What we CAN'T get shipped here is the meatballs and the cinnamon rolls, so that just has to wait until we can get back to Indiana briefly.  Bring us our Ikea - we love you!

We were recently visiting a city with an IKEA and, although we didn't really have time, we made time to pop into IKEA for a browse. When we found the perfect desk, we couldn't resist grabbing it even though we have a tiny car. We had to drive back to Tulsa several hours all scrunched up against the steering wheel! Save the roads from our scrunched driving and send IKEA to us!!

Favorite Ikea Product: Everything! I can't narrow it down!
Every time I'm any where near an Ikea its a mandatory stop! I've sent my husband an hour out of his way on a business trip to pick up a cabinet I wanted. I've planned trips around stopping at Ikea, I'm going to Kansas this weekend and I absolutely will be stopping do to some shopping! If we had one here I'd be there at least once a month, if not once a week!

Favorite Ikea Product: Kallax
I love IKEA! However with the roadtrips being 4+ hours either directions my shopping trips are very calculated to what fits in the car and what we're doing. Having 1 local will probably increase my spend and my impulse items. Why get it on Amazon when I can go find something amazing while wandering around IKEA!?

IKEA would be a lovely addition to the Tulsa community, and it would fill an IKEA "dead spot" for many who can't drive multiple hours to purchase lovely IKEA things.

I have loved IKEA for years. Whenever I am in a city with an IKEA, I like to shop there. I even went to the IKEA in Rome and filled a suitcase with blankets, rugs, coasters, and placemats and brought them all the way back to Tulsa! Please, come to Tulsa!

Tulsa's in desperate need of some Scandy flare! Help us be cool by letting us buy well-designed things from you. You'd be doing the world a service. Please and thank you.

Tulsa sits in the middle of three major college towns— Stillwater, Norman/OKC, and Northwest Arkansas— not to mention it’d be the closest IKEA in proximity to Tulsa, NW Ark., OKC, and Wichita areas (4 million people alone in these MSAs)! This region needs IKEA and Tulsa is the PERFECT spot.

Favorite Ikea Product: Billy Bookcase, Meatballs, and Lingon
When we moved to Tulsa, one of the first things I did was look up where the nearest IKEAs were. After practically growing up in the Smålland in Baltimore, and furnishing my first house and apartment out of Detroit, now any time I drive through a city with an IKEA, I have to stop for meatballs at the very least. Having a Tulsa location would be wonderful!

I know it would be dangerous to my bank account, but IKEA needs a Tulsa location!

I am back in Tulsa after a trip to France with my daughter, where we bought IKEA furniture for my mother. We looked at furniture for us. We used to go regularly when we lived overseas. Having a store in Tulsa has been a hope and in the conversation with my children for a while. The all family living in OK ( 10 adults) would definitely shop there !

Mindi G

Favorite Ikea Product: Too many to choose!
Please come to Tulsa! It would be so lovely to have you, IKEA , conveniently located! As an event planner, I’ve purchased everything from decor to green room furniture to bookcases for pop up stores. I’m already an IKEA family member… just need to be closer to “home.”

We need an IKEA store in Tulsa, Tulsa has had a lot of blows and having IKEA would help to make Tulsa a much better place to live and visit like it used to be before and it would draw people from OKC.

Alison M.

Favorite Ikea Product: The Bed Frames & Lighting
I’ve been an IKEA customer since college. Since moving back home to Tulsa, OK. I no longer live near an IKEA. While I still order some products online, it doesn’t compare to walking through the floors of an IKEA in person and being able to picture the products in my own home. I love IKEA, and I would love IKEA in Tulsa even more.

If IKEA came to Tulsa, it would bring a ton of people and would absolutely make profit in the first few days. Tulsans love and IKEA and want one near!

Favorite Ikea Product: VIDGA
Well, there’s 64 linear feet of VIDGA track installed all over my house with panels and panels of MAJGULL or SANELA curtains perfectly hanging ceiling to floor. Can all of these be my favorite products? Can IKEA come to Tulsa? I have one final room that needs curtains 🙏🏻.

Vivian Hoff

Favorite Ikea Product: Kolbjorn (right now)
I feel extremely confident speaking for all of Oklahoma City (90 miles west of Tulsa) when I say that while we would be so jealous that Tulsa got an IKEA before us, a Tulsa IKEA would increase our quality of life by at least 85%. Getting to take my grandfather's truck down the Turner Turnpike instead of risking my life on I-35? Getting to grab a nice Cirque coffee before I quite literally go to town at a Green Country IKEA? TBH, it'd be my pleasure.

I pop into an IKEA every time I travel near one! I consider IKEA as a kind of amusement park for people who like organizing and suitable decor. I've just finished outfitting my library with Billy Bookcase built-ins and always keep a stock of lingonberry jam on-hand. Tulsa would love an IKEA!

I drive down to the Frisco location twice a year. I would love for it to be more but my schedule doesn't allow for it. When we lived in Virginia we went to the Potomac Mills location. When we moved to Austin we drove to Houston to visit the Katy store. We really appreciated the Roundrock store when it finally arrived. We are old fans! Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 build a store in Tulsa

Favorite Ikea Product: I can't pick just one!!
Having an Ikea in Tulsa would be AWESOME!!! And very economically successful. We have demonstrated that when we want something and we get it, Tulsans will come out in droves to support it. Plus, this city would put you right in the middle of a market area that is strategically sound. All that combined with our outstanding logistical infrastructure (Rail, Air, Inland Port, Middle-of-America Roads) make for a great business foundation for not only a retail establishment, but also for a warehouse distribution center AND consider our very strong incentive packages for manufacturers. We have the perfect site for you to consider and we're investing $50M in water infrastructure now that will open up a mega site that would be perfect!

Herb

Favorite Ikea Product: My wife’s playground
My wife is German and they are over the place there. We have a 5 hour drive to get to one of the stores so we only go about twice a year. If you opened one in Tulsa I’m sure she will go sat least once a month maybe twice. I know of other European people here would probably do the same. Most don’t go because of the distance. Just think of all the money you are losing out on simply because it’s too far of a drive for about 90% of people

Would be great to not have to drive all the way to Frisco to go to IKEA, and I would know, I've made day trips to Dallas just to shop there! Lots of college students, new homeowners, and other folks that could benefit from all this great furniture being close by.

Tulsa is centrally located and is 2 hours from many cities and towns from Oklahoma City, Bentonville/Feyetteville, Joplin/Springfield, Stillwater, Norman and more. we have a metro population around a million, and OKC is 1.5m. Not to mention the other towns (including colleges/universities) that would benefit from Ikea. Many of these towns come to Tulsa for shopping anyway. The closest Ikea stores are in Frisco and KC. Those are more than 2 hours from the radius of a 2 hour drive from Tulsa. Our shopping in Tulsa is excellent, and we have wonderful restaurants and vacation experiences. We would love to have you here. Oh. And land is cheaper here than most other places.

Tina L

And how about dorm room shopping?? We have the University of Tulsa right here and Oklahoma State University only one hour to the west!

When we lived in Western Arkansas, we traveled to the Frisco Ikea 7 times in one summer just to re-do our kitchen. Oh, to have an Ikea in the Tulsa area! It's a little over an hour from Northwest Arkansas with a population of 600K and OKC 1.5 million-and finally Tulsa with a little over a million Ikea hungry folks! Let's go! Bring an Ikea to Tulsa!! Please...

My wife and I enjoy shopping at IKEA when we're in St. Louis, but it is impractical to buy large items there since we drive sedans. Having a store in Tulsa allow us to buy larger items (without paying shipping) and shop more often.

I would love to see a local Ikea. It’s difficult to shop for much when you’re traveling and trying to figure out how to get things back home.

Andrew

Favorite Ikea Product: Malm Furniture

I come from London where we lived right by the Wembley store. IKEA is and always has been my favorite furniture to buy and use but with our current closest store more than 4 hours away we tend to buy from other retailers because it’s hard to make that trip. We would love IKEA in Tulsa!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite Ikea Product: Cabinets

Not too long ago, I helped my friend remodel a rental property. He redid the whole thing with Ikea furniture, cabinets, and more. Ever since then, we've pined for an IKEA in Tulsa so we don't have to drive 8 hours round trip to Texas. C'mon Ikea, come to Tulsa, the Paris of Oklahoma!

Mallory

Favorite Ikea Product: All of them!

I love IKEA and we are smack dab in the middle of two. That are each four hours away. This would be a wonderful halfway point for those that can’t make the drive!

Brooke

I love the bedroom furniture and kitchen appliances. I also enjoy eating lunch or dinner at the restaurant. Please bring IKEA to Tulsa. I’m constantly driving back and forth to Frisco and would love to have a store in Tulsa.

Megan

Tulsa needs an IKEA! You would have the entire home good market. We have few affordable options and a million young people eager to shop with you regularly! We’re a hip city! You’ll fit right in.

Kari

Favorite Ikea Product: Pax closet system

My husband and I have made trips to Kansas City twice now specifically to stock up on IKEA goods: when we remodeled our bathroom and when we were getting all of our nursery furniture when our son was born. Now our new baby daughter has been handed down our son’s IKEA crib and the LEKA baby gym gave us her first social smile. I would love to own more of the baby/kid toys for my kiddos but we simply can’t drive 4 hours to Texas or Kansas that often. I think Tulsa is the perfect place to put a new IKEA because it’s right between the ones in Texas and Kansas. As a mom, homeowner, and a kindergarten teacher I would be there regularly.

Howdy! Oklahoma needs an IKEA. Your store here would keep me from having to drive 4-6 hours to the next closest locations from me in central Oklahoma. A store in Tulsa would allow me to shop more frequently and expand your offerings to a whole new demographic not able to make the 4-6+ hour drive. Hope to be seeing you on the windy plains soon!

We try to go the Frisco location and the Kansas City location at least once a year. It's always so hard to pare down the list based on room in the car, (although we did take a trailer once when we were redoing the laundry room and needed cabinets and a sink.) Tulsa is the perfect location and the perfect population for an IKEA!!!!

IKEA and Tulsa are like a match made in Heaven. The city is booming and there's never been a better time to invest in our city. With 4 million residents in the region, IKEA in Tulsa would be a major draw and fill a major regional gap by the company.

I have been traveling to Houston for years to visit the kids and always go to IKEA. Also, go to Dallas to visit friends and always go to IKEA. I like the laundry drying rack, the desk top pad, the meatballs most definitely…etc. etc. My husband and I would love to have an IKEA locally.

The timing of my petition is ironic as I am specifically making a trip down to Frisco in two days to go to IKEA. I bought a house in Tulsa two years ago and as a very design forward young woman, I am always wanting to make trips to IKEA locally to continuously update my house. It’s a pain to drive 4 hours south in my sedan to only be able to bring back small items. Put an IKEA in Tulsa please!
