You won’t be able to purchase IKEA’s products for the next while or eat their famous meatballs. In a message to their online followers, IKEA Canada has announced they will close all Canadian stores indefinitely as we deal with the Coronavirus pandemic.
This includes their Halifax location in Dartmouth Crossing.
