in my country, other furniture stores than IKEA commonly have restaurants in their stores too, you know...

This is crazy to me because I can't imagine ever wanting to eat at a furniture store

The idea is to keep people in the store for as long as possible. Having a food court eliminates the husband getting tired of furniture shopping and using the "I'm hungry, let's go" excuse.

It's also more likely to get the husband to go in the first place: "But honey, you can get some of those fun meatballs you love!"

IKEA helped me teach my son to read. We would go through the store and try to pronounce the weird Scandinavian names of the items. I have about a 20 minute tolerance for any shopping, so that kept us entertained.

I get that but it's still wild to me. I don't like meandering around stores, I don't want to be there any longer than I have to

They literally design the store layout to keep you there as long as possible, to the point that there are numerous little cheap asset flip indie horror games based off not being able to escape an ikea.

It's a place where many people spend several hours in one day because they are looking for a lot of different furniture. Some of them will do that during lunch hours, so that generates the demand for this.

Is this from that video where they see how many beers they can drink before getting kicked out of IKEA?
