The new store model supports a more seamless, omni-channel experience for consumers and offers home delivery, assembly and installation.

&nbsp;&quot;We know that more than half of Queens&#39; residents travel via public transportation, and we selected Rego Park for this new store concept to meet the unique needs of this customer,&rdquo; said Leontyne Green Sykes, Chief Operating Officer, IKEA Retail U.S. in a press release.

This store is just one piece of IKEA&rsquo;s larger-scale adaptation to meet these consumer trends with services such as an enhanced e-commerce experience, more affordable shipping and a customer fulfillment center for the markets surrounding Staten Island.&nbsp;
