Sheffield IKEA confirms reopening time four days after closure due to safety issue
“We look forward to welcoming customers back to our store."
IKEA says it is looking forward to welcoming customers back four days after it was evacuated for safety.
The Swedish furniture chain said its store on Sheffield Road, Tinsley, would open at 10am tomorrow, Thursday, July 23.
The shop has been closed since Sunday when shoppers reported hearing a “massive bang”, feeling the floor shake and seeing bolts fall from the ceiling near the check out area.
An IKEA spokesperson said: "IKEA Sheffield was temporarily closed while we resolved an operational issue.
“Following the successful completion of these works, we are pleased to confirm that the store will reopen at 10am on Thursday, 23 July.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused during the closure and look forward to welcoming customers back to our store."
Previously it said the evacuation was due to a safety concern.
