Our IKEA Jurong team, fondly called “The Avengers”, comprising some 50 co-workers, and extra hands from our IKEA stores in Alexandra and Tampines, is setting up the store in an entirely new format, and pushing for record time, with the highly anticipated opening in April 2021.
As our first small store format in IKEA Southeast Asia, IKEA Jurong will offer a new way to shop at IKEA, and also a different way of working for our many co-workers.
IKEA Food Team Leader, Rosaline Lim describes their multi-skilled organisational structure, “Everyone is trained in everything. If you ask for assistance, whoever you are or wherever you are, we will have the knowledge and skills to help. We invite everyone to come to Jurong – it’s a brand-new IKEA experience.”
