By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, September 11, 2005

Plymouth Meeting, Pa. — Ikea said last week it plans a Nov. 9 opening for its Stoughton, Mass., store, and will open its first two stores in Japan next year.

Stoughton will be the Swedish home furnishings giant's first store in Massachusetts, its second in New England after the New Haven, Conn., unit that opened last summer, and its 26th in the United States. The Stoughton store, on Route 24, will have 346,000 square feet and will be managed by Frank Briel.

The first Japanese store will open in April in Funabashi, in Chiba Prefecture just east of Tokyo. A second will open in the fall of 2006 in Kohoku Yokohama.
