The furniture company IKEA is piloting its first pick-up point in the nation here in Nashville.

Even though the city doesn’t have an IKEA store, some existing customers in the greater Nashville area are able to order furniture online and pick it up at a location on Spence Lane.

“At IKEA U.S., we’re on a journey to transform our business to meet our customers wherever they are and however they like to shop,” IKEA told WPLN News in an emailed statement.

The company says depending on how this pilot program goes, it may be more widely available in the future.

IKEA had planned to open a store in Antioch, but ultimately decided to not move forward with the location back in 2018.
