It’s Official!
August 15th, 2006
I really can’t take any credit for this, I just wanted to be a conduit of gossip of IKEA coming to Ohio. Gossip came to me. I called people, I chased leads… but that’s all I did. We didn’t do any petitions, or anything, we were just here waiting with baited breath. Noisy enough for IKEA to pay attention to us, but no so much we caused them to do anything they were’nt already thinking of. Nosey but harmless.
Thanks to all of you for joining on my silly bandwagon.
So, What’s next? This blog will monitor construction and opening. Then after that, it will serve as a fan blog showing room makeovers, deals, sales and the like. Ohikea has only just begun!

Congratulations Jen!! All of your campaigning paid off and there will be an IKEA in OHIO. As this is right down the road from the in-laws, I’m looking forward to seeing it be built from start to finish (or should I say SWEDISH!!).
Again - great work on following this storying - talk about a grassroots effort!

I have been jumping up and down for hours now. My husband is ready to commit me (though in truth he is just as excited). Thanks so much Jen for keeping us informed and doing all you do to bring this shopping paradise to Ohio.
Cincinatti will be my new favorite destination. Im so excited, instead of a 4 hour drive I will have an hour and half drive.
YIPPY…
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to this site.
Okay, is it me, or is it going to be a LONG year waiting for Ikea to open? If I save $25 a week from here until grand opening, I should have about $1500 to spend!
