Following being stuck in snowstorms, six Ikea customers were joined by around 20 employees of Denmark to host an informal slumber party.
Customers and employees were trapped in Aalborg’s store by snowfall up to 12 inches. They couldn’t get to their beds.
However, rather than sleeping in snowflakes, both customers and staff were allowed to take their pick from all the beds available in the store. They also had the unique opportunity to experience the Ikea Furniture Exhibitions, which are beloved by every Ikea customer.
Peter Elmrose, the store manager, said that he slept on Denmark’s Ekstra Bladet newspaper.
Customers could choose the bed that they wanted to buy and then try it. He stated that everyone enjoyed the evening eating, watching TV and talking about how it was great.
Denmark’s public broadcaster DR reported also that Ikea-themed people joined the Ikea-themed sleepover after being stranded themselves due to the weather.
Customers slumber party after they were snowed in to an Ikea Denmark
Ikea customers got the chance to see the warm and cozy Ikea furniture display that is so beloved by Ikea shoppers all over the world.
Michelle Barrett, the manager at Ikea said she is grateful for the kindness of the staff and that it was better than being in one’s own car. We are grateful that they allowed us to enter.
We laughed because we won’t experience that again.
The snowstorm left customers, employees and staff from the nearby toy shop stranded. They had to spend the night at Ikea.
