IKEA is looking at local spots for a Potential Store in the Raleigh-Cary Area according to local news. That would be great news and definitely a popular destination for visitors from all over. With 3 major universities and tons of young and growing families IKEA would be big hit for sure.

Some Speculation is better than no speculation at all.

Not exactly. The article supports everything the OP said, it confirms IKEA wants to put a store here and is looking for the right location and/or lease deal.

Not really, it stated it is about to put one in Norfolk and that it didn't confirm any plans for expansion for NC then says it didn't deny it either. Only thing that is confirmed is that the Cary Town Center is in talks with a large recognizable retailer.

“We continue to evaluate opportunities in the Raleigh-Durham area as they arise,” he says. “Certainly we’ve recognized over the years – or acknowledged – it is a market that long-term can support a store. We have not found a site yet and will continue to evaluate opportunities.”

Did you read the whole article? That's about as good as you get in terms of confirmation that IKEA wants a store in the area and is looking for a site. You're focusing too much on Cary Town Center.

IKEA is great in terms of furniture options here in the Triangle.

I personally think it's overrated though (hot take) - awesome when I was a poor college student, otherwise a bunch of stuff that is poorly constructed.

I like IKEA - fun place to shop and I've had no problem with their furniture quality over the years. Just ordered a Poang chair & ottoman from them last week as a matter of fact. It'll be years before a store would be open though, no matter what location they choose.
