If you aren't familiar with IKEA, you've probably lived in Arizona for a very long time and you don't get to California too often! Lets' start with the basics. IKEA is a retailer of home furnishings and accessories. It was founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad, who grew up on a farm in Sweden. The store specializes in Swedish style furniture and accessories for people on a budget.

Today, IKEA has more than 200 stores in 32 countries. The IKEA store in Tempe is the first one to be opened in Arizona, and it's huge at 342,000 square feet. On the pages that follow, you'll learn more about Arizona's IKEA store, and about the company's philosophy.
