For years, people across Saskatchewan have been dreaming about an IKEA setting up shop in the province. Now, that day has arrived — sort of.

Starting today, the popular furniture store has set up a collection point in Saskatoon. Shoppers will be able to make their purchases online, and then pick them up at a delivery site.

"In such a large country, it is important to offer a variety of solutions we can use to penetrate markets in relevant and economical ways," said David McCabe, Acting President of IKEA Canada. "Saskatoon is a natural next step in our plan to grow the IKEA brand in Canada."

Shoppers will be charged a flat delivery fee of $79, no matter how much furniture they buy. Previously, shoppers were charged $170.

This is the second collection point set up in Canada. A similar site was opened in Halifax in July.

The announcement is part of a plan to double the company's presence in Canada by 2025.

The Saskatoon drop-off point will be located at Dynamex, 3275 Miners Avenue.
