SWITZERLAND – Ikea has inaugurated its tenth furniture store in Switzerland: The Riddes branch in Valais is the most modern Ikea store in Switzerland.
The Riddes furniture store underscores Ikea’s commitment to its brick-and-mortar retail locations. “Our furniture stores are and remain an essential pillar of our success,” Bisset explained. “Being close to our customers has provided invaluable insights into their evolving needs. They carefully consider whether to shop in-store or online.”
This understanding guided the planning and execution of Riddes. Despite e-commerce’s significant growth in Switzerland over the past two years, the physical shopping experience and personal advice remain crucial in home furnishing choices.
Sustainability was a key focus in planning the new furniture store. According to the company, Riddes exemplifies how innovation, environmentally friendly design, and sustainability can harmonize. A zero-waste concept, including dedicated recycling stations, extensive green spaces on-site and on the roof, excellent public transport access, 22 electric vehicle charging stations, and a rooftop photovoltaic system, underscore this commitment.
