I just saw it on the news that IKEA is coming to Charlotte. Should be opening in the fall. Why couldn't it come to Raleigh or somewhere closer?
It just might one day. But to answer your question, Charlotte is more populous than Raleigh. They also have a higher average wage. Simply put, there's more yuppies there, which is the clientele IKEA serves.
Yahoo tells me IKEA is a furniture store. Not sure if that is right based on the meatball comment. Craig
It is a European Furniture store that has a restaurant within the store. They opened one in the Detroit area last year and people were camping out for it. The restaurant in the Detroit (Canton) store has over 300 seats. http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/

I forgot about that in that movie. Iv'e got it. I just can't commit to anything for two hours anymore, though. That movie made me realize how good Edward Norton is as an actor. American History X Fight Club Death to Smoochy real diverse characters.
