Since KW is bigger than London and growing rapidly, I wonder if this means that a similar store is in the works for the RoW.
I believe the threshold metropolitan population for a full size IKEA store in Canada is around 1 million. (That's why Toronto has several stores but RoW still has none.)
Presumably the smaller "pick-up" stores are intended for smaller populations like ours and London's. So I'm optimistic that we'll get something soon.

Evidently they've never driven between K-W and Burlington, especially during rush hours.
