According to the press service of the organization, the construction of IKEA and MEGA shopping centers in new regions of Russia, including Krasnoyarsk, is currently not planned.

But seriously, IKEA intends to continue developing its business exclusively in the capital. The company's management confirmed this information and announced plans to build separate stores in the Moscow region.
Earlier publicity was devoted to information about the negotiations of the authorities and the Mayor of information Krasnoyarsk Edkham Akbulatov (2010) had plans to open another shopping center of the company, but IKEA was only interested in the city of Moscow. Last week was marked by the event that the governor of the region - Lev Kuznetsov - announced that the Universiade may well bring such international brands as IKEA and McDonald's to the city.
If a positive decision is made on the Universiade, then there is an opinion that a brand like IKEA will automatically come to the region. At the moment, negotiations are underway on this topic, but, of course, a decision on whether Universiade or not, will create extra motivation.
