GREAT news for shoppers in York - IKEA could be coming to the city.
Bad news for ill-tempered people with little patience, a phobia of screwdrivers and a dislike of putting together furniture - IKEA could be coming to the city.
Joking aside, the furniture and home goods phenomenon would be a great boost to the local economy. Visitors would be drawn to the city and residents could visit this popular chain store without having to leave York.
It is a great sign of York's economic buoyancy that IKEA is looking to set up shop here. We can only hope this bid really does arrive fully assembled.
