The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA is very choosy about where it locates its stores.  For many years, the nearest IKEA complex has been located in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. If you wanted IKEA furniture (and lots of people do) you had a long way to go.

Lindsey Erdody of the Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ) posted a story late Monday, saying IKEA is preparing to make an announcement of its latest store, and it will be in Fishers.

IKEA is planning a news conference this morning at 10:30 at Fishers City Hall to announce more details.

This is a huge economic development coup for Fishers.  Any municipality in Indiana would want IKEA.  Any IKEA store in your city will likely bring with it lots of other development around that store.

LarryInFishers will be attending the news conference.  We will be providing more details once they are available later this morning.
