GET READY UPSTATE NEW YORK! IKEA IS COMING TO DESTINY USA!
— Global Home Furnishings Giant Selects Syracuse for First Location in Upstate New York —
The news we’ve all been waiting for…Destiny USA is excited to officially announce that IKEA is coming soon! The iconic Swedish retailer, known around the world for its stylish and affordable home furnishings, will open its very first location in Central and Upstate New York right here at Destiny USA!
This is a huge moment – not just for Destiny USA, but for the entire region. From Buffalo to Albany, the Canadian border to Pennsylvania and beyond, shoppers will soon have access to one of the most sought-after retail brands on the planet. IKEA decided to choose Destiny USA because of the center’s exceptional accessibility, high traffic, and powerful regional draw. Perfectly positioned at the crossroads of Interstate 90 (the New York State Thruway) and Interstate 81, Destiny USA offers unmatched convenience for both local shoppers and travelers coming from every direction.
Opening later this year, IKEA Syracuse will completely transform the 88,500 square foot former At Home space on the center’s west end. Guests will find IKEA’s signature showroom, marketplace, and, of course, the beloved Swedish food experience – all under one roof. IKEA Syracuse will also feature a central planning area where customers design and order home furnishing solutions for spaces in the home such as kitchens, bedrooms and restrooms with support from an IKEA team member. Get ready for something truly special!
“We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that IKEA is coming to Destiny USA – its very first location in Upstate New York! Welcoming this iconic, globally loved brand is one of the most exciting moments in our company’s history, and we couldn’t be prouder”, said Stephen Congel, CEO of Pyramid. “A huge shoutout to the incredible teams at both Pyramid and IKEA for their hard work and determination in bringing this vision to life. This game-changing addition is yet another reason why Destiny USA continues to lead the way in shopping, dining, and entertainment across the region!”
IKEA isn’t just good news for Destiny USA, but for all of Syracuse and Onondaga County!
“Bringing IKEA to Destiny USA is an exciting opportunity for the City of Syracuse and the region,” said Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh. “It signals continued investment in Destiny and aligns with our revitalization efforts in the Inner Harbor and Lakefront neighborhood. IKEA will attract visitors from all over the region, driving new business to the city and providing access to quality, affordable home furnishings right here in our community.”
Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon said, “We are incredibly excited that IKEA will soon call Onondaga County home. The decision by the IKEA team to invest in our community further validates that the Onondaga County comeback is real!” McMahon continued “The addition of IKEA is not only a huge win for the team at Destiny USA but also the burgeoning Inner Harbor neighborhood. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this announcement possible and we look forward to many more exciting announcements in the future.“
The addition of IKEA marks another bold step in Destiny USA’s ongoing evolution into a dynamic, all-in-one destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment. For more information, visit destinyusa.com and follow Destiny USA on Facebook and Instagram for project updates!
