Chazndave Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I've been told late August for the opening and I did notice this morning a large group of people wearing Ikea uniforms standing around in the TGI Friday's car park at around 7am this morning. Interviewing thats why. ---------- Post added 19-06-2017 at 21:34 ---------- September for opening. Im going to be working there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1976 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Furniture retailers are in for a tough time. DFS shares down 20% on rumours of a profits warning So much good second hand stuff on ebay and gumtree, why buy new? Because people prefer new? I know I do. I wouldn't buy much second hand - it just doesn't appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviewing?..Dressed in the company uniform?...That's never been required attire when I've been for an interview? I am aware that a lot of people (who have already been recruited) are doing their 'training' at the Leeds Ikea....So maybe they are providing transport.

alembic Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I never intend to go there. It's going to cause traffic chaos. I've seen the mess it causes on the M6 at Wednesbury When the Meadowhall exterior refurbishment starts in 2018 it's going to get worse. The plan is to demolish the upper level car parks at the front of the centre and drop them to surface level with an open air eating and drinking area. I can't see how sitting still on the M1 for 40 minutes to buy a flat pack table is worth it. It's already crazy around Christmas time and even worse when there's an event on at the arena. Often when there's an accident on the Parkway, at rush hour, the traffic diverts via Meadowhall. Sheffield CC have installed a computer controlled traffic management system (those little black spheres on the lights). It doesn't seem to have improved the situation. I've been working at Meadowhall since 2006 and it's got worse year on year. Edited June 22, 2017 by alembic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC89216 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Absolutely sensational news and news I've been waiting for since Spring! I have already booked the day off and will be getting there (for a good parking space) in the early hours of the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
