And Northern Kentucky comes up from behind…
Could the Tristate area be leading the Ohio race for Ikea?
For those living around Cincinnati and just over the river, this article might be a breath of hope, a little at least, with this part: “One possible tenant could be the large outdoor retail chain Cabela’s, which is known for drawing millions of tourists each year to each of its 14 locations across the country, said John Thompson, senior vice president of retail for Everest Real Estate, the broker for the property.
Everest has had discussions with Cabela’s and Swedish home furnishing retailer Ikea, Thompson said.
Other possible uses for the land include a condominium and apartment complex, movie theater and big retailer, Thompson said.
Ikea has stopped considering the location for now, Thompson said, but Cabela’s hasn’t lost interest. He said he has no commitment from Cabela’s.”
Hey, we know now that they are looking in the Cinci area, this is the second confirmed lead for the Cinci metro area (for those outside this are, Florence, KY is mere minutes over the river and inside the 275 loop around Cinci) – the first being At Union Center, just north of the 275 loop.
They are looking here – they are! It’ll come! Burn more incense and inferior Walmart furniture!

We live in Louisville and would happily make the trip to the Cincy area. It would save us 3+ hours from our normal Schaumburg IKEA trip.
I am amused at your need for IKEA. Here in Los Angeles, we have at least four of them… maybe more! Our IKEA greed knows no bounds!
As a Clevelander by birth, I do know your pain but be assured, you are really sparing yourselves a lot of unplanned purchases (who can resist the cute magenta EKTORP throw rug for $5.99, even when you dont have anything in your home that goes with magenta?)
But more importantly, you are not experiencing what we fondly call “The Ikea Screw”: (or would that be “SKREW”?)
The Ikea Screw is what happens you purchase a piece of furniture from said IKEA, and drive it home. You assemble it eagerly, thinking how very cool this will look in your house. You fumble through the pictograph instructions–there are no words, which ensure that everyone in the world has an equal chance of putting the first two steps together wrong, thereby ensuring at least one complete dissassembling before you reassamble and approach completion. You have just one more piece of assembly to complete on your BILLUKG thing, and disaster strikes.
There is no screw to attach it.
You search everywhere but it is not in the bag, the box or your home, and you suspect that it is not even in this country. It is a part that is found only in Sweden, manufactured in some back country Alpine village. You let loose a string of epithets that are NOT in Swedish.
Congratulations, you have just received The IKEA Screw (TM).
