For 20 years Arizona had 1 IKEA. Now there will be 3. What to know
Until recently, IKEA had one store in metro Phoenix: the one in Tempe. But, just like that, soon there will be three.
Swedish furniture and home goods giant IKEA announced plans to open a third Valley location, this one in Phoenix, on May 7, the same day it opened a new-look IKEA in Scottsdale.
The store, which will be a smaller format than a traditional IKEA store, is planned to open early next year, the company announced.
'We are thrilled to offer Phoenix metro area residents more ways to shop and experience IKEA.' Javier Quiñones, CEO & chief sustainability officer for IKEA U.S., said in a statement. 'These new locations highlight our commitment to bring IKEA closer to the many people and make it easier and more affordable to access our home furnishing products and solutions.'
It will be in the Village Square II shopping center at Cactus Road and Tatum Boulevard. It is across the street from the former Paradise Valley Mall, now called PV, which is in the middle of a major redevelopment.
The store is one level and covers approximately 75,000 square feet. It will offer customers access to over 23,000 items, primarily consisting of home furnishing accessories and about 75 small furniture items. The store will also have a new Swedish Deli concept, offering a variety of hot and cold food to eat on site or take home. This includes meatballs, plant balls, hot dogs, veggie dogs, plant dogs and cinnamon buns.
IKEA opened its second Arizona location, a small-format store at the Scottsdale Promenade, on May 7, the same day it announced plans for the Phoenix store.
The Scottsdale location is a small format 'plan and order point' where customers can browse the showroom and talk to employees about their plans for their homes, and order items. There is no stock at the studio, all the items are ordered.
There is a full-format IKEA store on West IKEA Way in Tempe, near Interstate 10 and Warner Road. It opened in 2004.
In 2017, IKEA announced plans to open a full-size store in Glendale, but that never came to fruition and the company canceled plans for the location in 2018. The site IKEA had eyed is now the site where VAI Resort is under construction, near Loop 101 and Cardinals Way.

UC Davis students can now bottle and sell their wines made on campus to support scholarships
UC Davis students can sell their own wines made to support scholarships UC Davis students can sell their own wines made to support scholarships UC Davis students can sell their own wines made to support scholarships DAVIS -- For 145 years, UC Davis has helped forge the future of the wine industry from the heart of its Yolo County campus. But now, for the first time, the university is finally allowed to bottle up and sell the wines made by students in its Department of Viticulture and Enology. It took a law change to get there and the creation of the nonprofit Hilgard631 for the state institution to legally sell wine. "That's 12 years in a nutshell. I'm glad we are here, able to celebrate this," said Professor David Block. Wednesday night, the department hosted an event celebrating the first-ever release and sale of the student creations. "They can share it with their friends and families, which is something they couldn't do before. So this is very exciting," said UC Davis head winemaker Leticia Chacon Rodriguez. Dozens of supporters showed up to taste-test the wines Wednesday, lining up after to purchase a bottle. "It's a good sauvignon. I like it. This is from a student?" asked one woman in surprise, tasting a delicious white wine. The magic happens from start to finish at UC Davis. Most of the grapes are grown at the vineyard on campus, and they are then fermented in the winery classroom as the students' visions come to life. Each pour represents a sense of accomplishment for those in the program. "There's a lot of pride and just excitement to share it," said student winemaker Naomi Morales. "If you're interested in the way that art and science collide, consider winemaking." Inside the teaching and research winery, their creations are made over the course of 10 weeks. Before this year, the wines made on campus had no sustainable future. "Unfortunately, before, the wine got just poured down the drain," said Ben Montpetit, chair of the Department of Viticulture and Enology. Now, the department is also able to teach students the business of winemaking too as they learn to design their own labels and sell their wines. It's helping raise a glass the the future for an industry seeing declining sales. "There's classes where they are given the freedom to do what they want and they really push the envelope. New varieties, new ways of making wine, new packaging," said Ben Montpetit. Hilgard631 handles public sales, now allowing the transfer of up to 20,000 gallons of department-made wines. The department bottled roughly 500 gallons of wine to sell for this release. All proceeds from the wine sales will support student scholarships. Bottles can be purchased in person only at the on-campus research winery at 631 Hilgard Rd. in Davis.

How Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' could affect oil and gas
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – President Trump's 'Big, beautiful bill' could pass by July 4th bringing tax cuts, border security, and a boost for Permian Basin jobs. Representative August Pfluger has championed several provisions in the bill to help the oil and gas industry. Energy provisions: Expedited LNG Exports (Section 41003) — Expedites approvals by deeming applications to non-free trade countries 'in the public interest' upon payment of a $1 million fee, eliminating a previously lengthy review process. This streamlining preserves existing legal and regulatory authorities while potentially reducing approval timelines from years to months. Natural Gas Permitting Reform (Section 41005) — Creates a voluntary expedited permitting pathway with guaranteed timelines, requiring agencies to complete reviews within one year of fee payment ($10M or 1% of project cost). If review deadlines are missed, applications are automatically approved, and legal challenges are limited. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Funding (Section 41008) — Provides a $2 billion appropriation for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), including $218 million for cavern repairs, $1.32 billion for oil purchases, and directs the remaining funds to reverse prior mandated sales. This targeted investment strengthens U.S. energy security and reserve readiness. Environmental Provisions: Air Pollution Monitoring Limitation (Section 42105) — Repeals and rescinds unobligated funds from IRA Section 60105, which had allocated $281.5 million to the EPA for expanding air quality monitoring networks. This reduces the EPA's ability to identify new non-attainment zones, limiting additional regulatory burdens. Methane Emissions Program Delay (Section 42113) — Extends the timeline for the Methane Emissions Reduction Program charges by an additional 10 years. Healthcare provisions: Affordable Care Act Exchange Reforms (Section 44201) — Amends the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) definition of 'lawfully present' to exclude Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. This change counters the Biden Administration's May 2024 rule, which expanded ACA eligibility to include DACA recipients, a move with potential legal and financial implications.

Waiting for the Fed All Summer Long
To get John Authers' newsletter delivered directly to your inbox, sign up here. The Federal Reserve might as well take the rest of the summer off and head for the beach. If the sweeping new tariffs are to shift inflation upward, they haven't done it yet. That's the clearest conclusion from the US consumer price inflation data for May, which against expectation showed continuing decline, and nevertheless changed market expectations for the Fed barely at all. May was the first month the Trump 2.0 tariffs were in effect throughout, and yet they had a negligible impact on price rises. That is undeniably good news. But it doesn't disprove that price rises will eventually come, and the data overall give the Fed no reason to jump in either direction. Breaking inflation into its four main components — food and energy, and the remaining goods and services — in our regular chart from the ECAN function on the terminal shows minimal change. Services continue to dominate, energy was negative and food positive. Core goods, the most affected by tariffs, saw inflation tick up, but not to a level that's discernible:
