INTRODUCTION
The first Mobel-IKEA store was opened in Almhult, Smaland in 1958, while the first stores outside Sweden were opened in Norway (1963) andDenmark (1969). The stores spread to other parts of Europe in the 1970s, with the first store outside Scandinavia opening in Switzerland (1973), followed by Germany (1974).
Amid a high level of success, the company's German executives accidentally opened a store in Konstanz in 1973 instead of Koblenz. Later that decade, stores opened in other parts of the world, such as Japan (1974), Australia and Hong Kong (1975), Canada (1976), and Singapore (1978). IKEA further expanded in the 1980s, opening stores in countries such as France and Spain (1981), Belgium (1984), the United States (1985), the United Kingdom (1987), and Italy (1989). The first IKEA store in Latin America opened on February 17, 2010 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. As of July 2013, the company's presence in developing countries remains minimal.
