A Big Change for Local Shoppers
The only IKEA in Tennessee, located just off I-40 in the Germantown Parkway area near Memphis, will soon be closing its doors. The store, which opened in 2016, drew crowds from all over the Mid-South and has been a destination for everything from Swedish meatballs to affordable home furnishings. IKEA explained that this difficult decision comes after evaluating factors like market share, business performance, and cost structure.
Store Closing Details
While an exact date hasn’t been shared, IKEA Memphis will remain open for a limited time as it winds down operations. If you’re hoping to snag any IKEA favorites or grab a final cinnamon roll, plan a visit soon. For more official information and updates, check the Fox 13 Memphis coverage.

Over the years, the store has helped shape the shopping landscape along Germantown Parkway, a major retail corridor for the city. This change may also affect local jobs, and area leaders and businesses are watching closely for what’s next for the prominent retail space.
