Billy bookcases and Swedish meatballs are coming to the Clear Lake area. Swedish furniture giant IKEA will open its second full-service Houston-area store in Webster, the company announced.
Slated to open in summer 2026, IKEA Webster will be located at the Center at Baybrook (19801 Gulf Freeway). It will be the company’s 10th store in Texas and second in the Houston area, joining its familiar Spring Branch location and a design-focused “Plan and Order” store in Katy. The store is known for its affordable, ready-to-assemble furniture, accessories, and other home items.
“We are thrilled to continue our expansion across Texas to bring the dream of a better home within reach for more people across the country.” said Javier Quiñones, CEO & chief sustainability officer, IKEA U.S. “The opening of IKEA Webster highlights our commitment to bring IKEA closer to the many people and make it easier and more affordable to access our home furnishing products and solutions.”
Coming in at an impressive 93,000-square-feet, the store will offer 7,000 products, including 4,800 that can be taken home directly from the store. Larger items, such as sofa and beds, may be ordered for in store pick-up or delivery.
IKEA’s “As-is Department” fosters sustainability by selling used products, discontinued items, and other products at lower prices to prevent them from being discarded.
In addition to purchasing products, customers will be able to meet with IKEA staff for help designing kitchens, bedrooms, and other spaces. Of course, the store will also offer IKEA’s signature cafeteria, loaded with hot and cold items such as meatballs, plant balls, hot dogs, veggie dogs, cinnamon buns, and more.
“I’m excited to bring the IKEA experience and stylish, functional, and affordable home furnishings to more customers in Houston!” said Fredrik Rabe, market manager, IKEA Houston. “We are meeting the many people where they are, and I’m thrilled that we are continuing to grow our presence across Texas.”
