Ikea and Best Buy have launched a pilot program putting Ikea kitchen and laundry displays in 10 U.S. stores. Shoppers can design spaces with Ikea staff and pick appliances with Best Buy associates. The move comes as Best Buy faces soft sales driven by tariffs, a weak housing market, and slower tech demand.

To further meet the needs of customers, two stores - Lakeland, Florida and Alamo Ranch, Texas - will serve as pick-up points for IKEA shoppers, allowing customers in these markets to pick up most IKEA U.S. products for free at the Best Buy store, whether those were purchased through an IKEA in Best Buy design experience or IKEA.com.
