Among hundreds of IKEA stores around the world, IKEA Pasay City was named IKEA Store of the Year 2025, a recognition only a few IKEA stores globally ever get to receive. And honestly, it felt like such a proud moment not just for the brand, but for Filipinos too.
To celebrate the milestone, IKEA Pasay rolled out its own version of the blue carpet and transformed the Swedish Restaurant into a Hall of Fame-inspired space that honored the people behind the achievement, the co-workers who helped make the store experience feel genuinely warm, thoughtful, and very in tune with how Filipinos live at home.
