A new 'mini IKEA' is opening near Montreal & you can shop there starting next week

If you live in the Greater Montreal Area and dread battling traffic just to hit up IKEA, there's good news on the horizon. IKEA Canada has confirmed that it's opening a new planning and ordering studio just minutes from Montreal — and it's set to welcome customers as early as next week.

Located in Montérégie, this new space will offer a smaller-scale IKEA experience compared to the massive stores in Montreal, Boucherville, and Quebec City. According to the company, the Vaudreuil-Dorion studio will be a "unique concept," letting customers plan renovations with a specialist, shop a curated selection of around 100 products on site, and pick up online orders directly in-store.

It's also the first of its kind in Quebec to combine all of those features in one location. Unlike other planning studios, which are mostly used for consultations, this one allows customers to do a bit of shopping too — making it extra handy if you need a last-minute item or prefer to browse in person before committing online.

The new storefront will be inside SmartCentres Vaudreuil-Dorion, in the heart of the growing retail district. As with other locations, customers will be able to book appointments to meet with IKEA experts, get personalized advice for their projects, and arrange for home delivery or pickup.

This new IKEA format adds to the brand's growing list of planning studios already found in Sherbrooke, Boisbriand, Brossard, and Lachenaie. These mini stores are designed to be more convenient and accessible for suburban customers who want expert help with their home projects, minus the warehouse maze.

So, whether you're planning a kitchen overhaul or just need a few space-saving solutions, this new IKEA might be worth checking out — especially if you're trying to avoid the weekend crowds at the bigger stores.

Where: 100-3080 boulevard de la Gare, Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC
When: Opens May 2, 2025
