Apparently Vrbanovic chased after the IKEA Canada President, Stefan Sjöstrand...lol
Ikea coming to Kitchener
Kitchener mayor chased IKEA President
"Sjöstrand said that he was leaving a climate change summit in Toronto on July 9, heading for the airport, when Kitchener mayor Berry Vrbanovic chased after him to introduce himself.
"I waited for when he was finished at the end of the session and said, 'Stefan, I said, I want to meet you,'" Vrbanovic said at the announcement on Tuesday. "'I'm the mayor of Kitchener and we want to have a store in Kitchener and, 'Funny,' he goes, 'We've just been talking that we'd like to be in Kitchener, too.'"
According to Sjöstrand, Vrbanovic was instrumental in helping the retailer find a suitable location and suggested the Sears Home location."
