WASHINGTON - IKEA is opening a new store right Washington next month, but it's not the typical store you're thinking of.
What we know:
The new "plan and order" location will be in Georgetown, on M Street, just a few blocks from the Key Bridge.
Plan and order stores are not the typical massive warehouses you're used to. Instead, the stores allow people to meet with IKEA experts to plan bigger orders for their homes like, for example, a whole room setup.
