TAMPA, FL -- Home furnishings made in Sweden will soon find its way into Tampa Bay homes with the opening of IKEA's 3rd Florida store. May 6th, 2009 is the target for the official opening of the store that lets the consumer assemble many of the products at reduced prices.
Store officials claim in addition to the 400 to be hired to work for IKEA, nearly 500 construction jobs were created while the store was being built along Adamo Drive and 22nd Street.
Future store manager Monica Varela is excited about the progress, " We are thrilled at the excellent construction progress made in the summer and fall, and believe the remaining construction milestones and interior build-up process will be complete by May - much earlier than originally envisioned. Now our primary goal is hiring and training the 400 local hires who will be joining the IKEA coworker family before we open."
There are jobs available in sales, customer service, warehouse and stock and in their restaurant and food market. Job information can be found on the company's web site: www.IKEA-USA.com
