IKEA has great furniture at great prices -- but there are only 12 locations across Canada, and if you're not near one, shipping costs can be astronomical. IKEA is looking to ameliorate that problem by opening two tiny "pick-up point" stores in Canada later this year! The stores will be opening in London, Ontario and Quebec City, Quebec, both cities that are a fair distance from the closest true IKEA location. You'll be able to find them at:

3198 Wonderland Rd S, London, ON

3111 Avenue Watt, Quebec City, QC

Each location will be about one-tenth of the size of a regular IKEA location and will carry 99 of their best-selling items, plus serve as a pick-up depot for internet orders. (A standard IKEA is 323,000 square feet and carries a fair portion of IKEA's 12,000-item product range.) Currently, there are IKEA Pick-Up Point stores in Spain, Greece and Thailand.

We can't wait to check them out!
