First 3 hours free when you spend £20.00 in store. opening times mon - fri 10 - 9, sat 9 - 9 sun 11 - 5 sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 They charge ? Speaking as someone quite capable of spending no money in IKEA if the item I want is out of stock or turns out not to be quite right, that would put me off going altogether! The store here has free parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It's the same at the Coventry store. Being in the city centre they said it was to discourage office workers parking there. However I never managed to get round Ikea in under 2 hours especially when I took the children as we would often stop for a drink or dime cake in the cafe. I gave up going in the end and went to the Nottingham store when I visited my MIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It does seem a bit On the other hand, I don't believe I have ever spent less than £20 there...even if the item I intended to buy is not in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks Sue, I've never come out of Ikea with a bill less than £80, so parking should be reasonable!! Mind you I've never been there whilst on a "buy nothing new" kick either...this will be an interesting visit ! Luckily there will be interesting people to distract me from spending !

earthmam1 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi Southampton council would not let Ikea have a free car park and the private free car parks nearby are now charging. Ikea also say they have a 90car stacking system before you get to the car parK as the approach road is extremely busy. should be fun sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Speaking as someone quite capable of spending no money in IKEA You are quite capable of doing what now? I'm not sure I understand One of the other IKEA stores charged for parking but that was quickly changed when they got lots of complaints.
