WSJ Article

quote:

IKEA thinks it can succeed where a string of other retailers have given up—in San Francisco’s beleaguered downtown district.

Three years after acquiring a desolate mall in the city’s Mid-Market corridor, IKEA is set to open Wednesday in a downtown district that has been hollowed out by an exodus of workers and has struggled with crime, homelessness and drug abuse.

The opening will put to the test a new format that the Swedish furniture company is rolling out globally—a pared-back store aimed at casual shoppers and office workers that is far smaller than the huge out-of-town sites for which IKEA is best known.

“We do feel it’s a viable place,” said Arda Akalin, the store’s manager. “Our ambition going into that location is to bring in more jobs, bring in more people, and bring in more commercial activity to the Mid-Market area.”


I don't know what to say about this. Somebody's either ignorant, hard-headed or just plain stupid.

Homeless and hood rats aren't stealing shite they have to assemble.

The homeless will start squatting INSIDE the Ikea.

Also expect a lot of shitting on the floor.

I’m really looking forward to the pics of bums sleeping and taking a dump in the middle of the place.

Harder to steal from IKEA when it’s a fricking maze to get out.

They can steal table legs that can be used as clubs.

They will succeed. The usual suspects aren’t going to steal anything they have to work to assemble.

Prolly tough to steal from ikea- their crappy furniture comes in really heavy boxes, with poorly translated instructions that even those of us who can read can’t understand.
