The Swedish multinational, Ikea, has held talks with the ayuntamiento of Vicar about the possibility of opening a store in the Viapark Bahia de Almeria commercial park in their municipality.
The Bahia de Almeria shopping centre is destined to be the biggest in the province with a total area of 10 hectares, 30,000 square metres of which is to be dedicated to shops. As well as a Carrefour supermarket the main focus of the centre will be home furnishings and sports, as well as additional automobile services. It is located off the Aguadulce exit of the A7 motorway about fifteen minutes outside Almeria. Originally projected to be open this summer the opening has been delayed until September or October.
Ikea has set conditions on its opening of a store; it wants to be part of the second phase of development with an exclusive site on the other side of the motorway accessed through an underground tunnel. If all goes according to plan the new shop could be open by 2010. The second phase of the Viapark project involves another 50 hectares of construction.
