The world’s largest IKEA store is expected to open in the Philippines next year.
The store, set to be located at the country’s biggest mall complex — Mall of Asia in Pasay, Metro Manila — will cover an area of at least 65,000 square meters (700,000 square feet).
That massive space is equal to over 150 basketball courts, according to Christian Rojkjaer, managing director for Ikea Southeast Asia.
