Ikea plans Whitby pick-up point

BURLINGTON, Ont. —  Ikea Canada has selected Whitby, Ont., as the site of its next Pick-Up and Order Point, to open next spring. The facility will allow customers who make purchases online or in Ikea retail stores to pick them up closer to home. The pick-up points are part of an international pilot program in markets without Ikea stores. Two others are currently under construction in Canada, at Quebec City and London, Ont., while a third has recently been announced in St. Catharines, Ont. Ikea Canada’s 12 stores are located in five provinces.
