IKEA Second-Hand Store
IKEA open second-hand store in Sweden
The Swedish retailer will be selling refurbished furniture in the brick-and-mortar store, conveniently located in the ReTuna shopping mall in Eskilstuna, which is the world's first second-hand shopping centre.
The initiative is part of IKEA's efforts to become a fully circular business by 2030. The second-hand store, which is being piloted and will be re-evaluated regularly, will stock IKEA furniture and home furnishings that have been damaged and repaired from a nearby store.
'If we are going to reach our sustainability goals we need to challenge ourselves and test our ideas in practice,' Jonas Carlehed, Ikea Sweden's sustainability director said in a statement via The Local.
