IKEA opens new format stores in Southern California and Bay Area
Swedish company IKEA is on target to open six more locations in the U.S., on top of five already opened this year, including four in California.
As told by a company spokesperson to USA TODAY, the furniture retailer has plans to open three locations in Texas, and one each in Maryland, Oregon, and New Jersey.
The four IKEA locations in California opened earlier this spring, most recently in Thousand Oaks, where a smaller 2,500-square-foot showroom at 60 N. Moorpark Road enables customers to get support from IKEA experts and access the full range of IKEA services, including free next-day pick-up for online orders.
Called an IKEA Plan & order point with Pick-up, according to a news release from IKEA, the pick-up point offers a "blend of online and offline shopping."
The IKEA Plan & order point with Pick-up is a new-format store that is part of the growth strategy for IKEA U.S.—it "increases accessibility to the brand and ensures there are more ways to meet customers where they are and how they like to shop," according to a press release.
It is also different from the traditional large-format IKEA stores, as it allows customers to meet with the IKEA store team to plan and order home furnishing solutions that require a bit more help, such as kitchen, bathroom, and closet storage systems."
In addition to the one at Thousand Oaks, two other IKEA Plan & order point with Pick-up California locations opened at:
IKEA Ontario Plan and Order Point with Pick-up, 4150 E 4th St., Ontario
IKEA Colma Plan and Order Point with Pick-up, 35 Colma Blvd, Colma
In Santa Monica, IKEA opened a Pick-up point location at 3017 Wilshire Blvd.
The Santa Monica Pick-up point allows customers to place any order in store or on IKEA.com/us and pick it up for free the next day, according to a press release. The location also offers the full range of IKEA services with the support of home furnishing experts, including delivery, assembly, and financing.
The three new customer meeting points will bring the total number of IKEA locations to nine in the Los Angeles metro area. This expansion in the Los Angeles market is a part of the $2.2+ billion investment in the company's omnichannel growth strategy in the United States.
At the end of the 2024 fiscal year, the company reported having 51 stores and 10 Plan and Order points nationwide, with 39 total pick-up locations.
California has 10 IKEA retail locations, six pick-up points, and four Plan and Order Points with Pick-up.

'One Big Beautiful Bill' boosts highest earners most, Congressional Budget Office says
The legislation dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill'' by President Donald Trump would increase resources for middle and top earners at the expense of lower-income Americans, according to a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office. The nonpartisan CBO analyzed the combined effects of many of the House bill's tax reductions and its cuts to federal programs, including Medicaid and nutrition assistance, over the period between 2026–2034. The mega bill's now in the Senate, which is considering changes. Benefits of the bill increase with income, with the lowest tier households losing out, CBO said. The agency compared the bill with current tax law, which encompasses Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The current pending bill would extend the 2017 tax cuts, add work requirements to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps), give seniors an additional tax credit to help offset Social Security taxes, and create savings accounts for babies, among other things. Here is how the CBO says the bill would affect Americans: Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Those in the lowest income group would lose about $1,600 in resources per year, which is about 3.9% of their income, mostly because of reductions in non-cash transfers, such as Medicaid and SNAP. Since many in this group pay little to no federal taxes, they would benefit less from tax cuts than higher income groups. Middle-income households would see their resources increase by $500 to $1,000, or 0.5% to 0.8% of their projected income. The top 10% of households would see a gain of about $12,000, or about 2.3% of income, mostly because of tax cuts. Medora Lee is a money, markets, and personal finance reporter at USA TODAY.

Lead EU lawmaker on sustainability laws proposes more cuts
The European Union should further slash the number of companies subject to its environmental and corporate sustainability rules, the European Parliament member leading negotiations on the policies said on Thursday. The European Commission proposed a 'simplification omnibus' in February that it said would help European firms compete with foreign rivals by cutting back on sustainability reporting rules and obligations intended to root out abuses in their supply chains. Those proposals did not go far enough, according to Swedish centre-right lawmaker Jörgen Warborn, who has drafted amendments to scale back the laws further to only cover companies with 3,000 employees or more and over 450 million euros ($521 million) in turnover. The Commission proposal would exempt companies with fewer than 1,000 employees - already, cutting out more than 80 percent of the roughly 50,000 companies currently covered by the green reporting rules. The EU counts around 6,000 companies with more than 1,000 employees. 'Europe is falling behind the US and China in the global race for competitiveness. I'm entering this process with a clear ambition: to cut costs for businesses and go further than the Commission on simplification,' Warborn said in a statement on Thursday. His draft proposal must be negotiated in the European Parliament where other lawmakers can propose their own amendments. The Parliament will agree the final changes with EU member countries in the coming months. Warborn, a member of the centre-right European People's Party lawmaker group, is facing competing calls from some right-wing lawmakers to scrap the policies entirely, and Socialist and Green lawmakers vowing to preserve them. French president Emmanuel Macron and German chancellor Friedrich Merz have both demanded the EU scrap the supply chain law. But the walk-back on ESG rules has met resistance from some investors and campaigners, who have warned it weakens corporate accountability and hurts the bloc's ability to attract more investments towards meeting climate goals. Warborn said his proposed changes will not weaken Europe's sustainability standards, but rather free up resources that companies can instead invest in innovation.
