The 13.7-hectare plot of land is located in southeastern Bucharest and was bought Friday.
“We’ve chosen to open a second store in Bucharest, in an area that offers wider access to public transport,” IKEA Romania retail manager Cornel Oprisan said in a statement Monday.
He added the company will continue to seek store opening opportunities in other cities in the country as well.
IKEA currently has just one store in Romania, in northern Bucharest.
