Exclamation IKEA Atlanta closed?

Does anyone know why IKEA Atlanta has been closed for two days? I called at 6:30 last night to check availability on some cover panels that were not in stock on Monday and got a message saying they would reopen tomorrow.

This morning the line rang slow busy. (Slow busy is the busy you hear when a line is in use, as opposed to fast busy which indicates a line error.) Now I get the message that IKEA is closed, but no indication on when they will reopen.

This is most strange. I am halfway through a kitchen install, with 6 more cabinets and a host of cover panels and trim left to order. Surely they aren't closing forever!!!

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

That is odd -- I was there Wednesday evening for several hours, and my husband was there yesterday to exchange something for me (earlier in the day). I did not see any "notice" posted anywhere that they were closing for anything upcoming. There is a lot of stuff going on at Atlantic Station this weekend though (or in the area)... Taste of Atlanta for one thing.

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

And they are definitely NOT closing forever - they were fully stocked with Christmas decor!

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

Oh, I know they aren't really closing forever. It was a momentary loss of my mind. I was just there Monday.

I do hope the norseman by the entrance to the Cafe didn't go Berserker and wreck the whole place though. ;-) You should have seen him, with his horn cup and his battle ax. I definitely bussed my own table that night!

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

Berserker. Love it!!

It is weird that they're closed- maybe they had a facilities issue that caused them to shut down...just guessing.

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

I guess I've never noticed the norseman. Glad you have calmed now though. I still have trim pieces to buy too - but probably 90% done with my remodel thank god. we have slowed down a lot in the last month.

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

Yeah, Monday night this guy had a full Norse costume (fairly authentic too, no horned helmets or anything) and a table at the top of the escalator onto the top level. On the table was a bow, a battle axe, a mace, some jewelry and personal items etc. Not sure what was going on with him, but while we were dining, we did watch him stroll into the cafe with a giant horn goblet, walk right over to the soda fountain and get a chalice of lingonberry juice, spiked with a hit of mountain dew.

Which is exactly what I drink! So then I said the stupidest thing to the wife. "See, I'm not weird for drinking this, the viking warrior does too!"

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

Maybe he was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism recruiting members? There are Norse "clans" in the group.

While I am not familiar with the members, the Kingdom of Meridies which is in the Southeast, does seem to have members whose Society names sound Norse.

Re: IKEA Atlanta closed?

Maybe it was SCA. He must be fairly new. I haven't had much to do with them for a few years now, but I thought I knew all the movers and shakers in the Atlanta area of the Fifth Kingdom, but I guess not anymore.

But if IKEA allows such things, I have one more reason to like IKEA!!!

OMG - you are/were an SCA person, too?! We were involved with Oldenfeld in Trimaris when they first got started but dropped out a long time ago. I'll need to contact the people there when we start moving since I know we have some things they'd be interested in (old newsletters, photos, reference materials) and that we have no need for any longer. But the last time I tried to contact them, they did not get back to me.
