On Wednesday I attended an exclusive photo preview of the new IKEA Tampa at 22nd & Adamo. I'm really impressed with this store, and its grand opening May 6 is likely to be a big event.
A few things about this IKEA make it different from many other retails, including other IKEA stores. First, this is the biggest IKEA in Florida. The walking tour, which lasted almost three hours, didn't even cover the guts of the store. We literally danced from section to section and I ended up doing a lot of "walk and snap" photography, just trying to get it all in.
