- A walk through the new urban format Ikea store in downtown Toronto. I head into the store from the Yonge & Gerrard entrance and check out both levels before exiting into College Park. The store opened a few days before recording this. This Ikea is unique in that the marketplace and showroom spaces are combined and large items are delivery only.
Recorded in 4K at 60 FPS with a DJI Pocket 2 on Friday, May 27, 2022.

Ooo I love IKEA! The home of the LACK table - hands up if you’ve got one of those everybody 🤣. There are a few in my house 😀. I’m sure this store will be popular - it certainly is here, but my closest one is about 30 minutes drive away. Meatballs and apple pie a firm menu favourite here! Thanks for sharing! 🙂💜
We really enjoyed this video! Stayed at the Chelsea the week before IKEA opened! The Chelsea is renovating their rooms and is an affordable place to stay ! Wish IKEA was opened when we were there ! We loved the cafe on the ground floor of Aura.
I love to see the IKEA experience in Canada..great video, thank you Johnny 👏👏👏
Yes IKEA in downtown Toronto that awesome
Terrific video. Love this urban Ikea!! Thanks Johnny!! :-)
Thanks Johnny for the nice walk keep up the good work stay safe and take care until next time 😎
Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this video 👍
Nice tour! I like your channel! 👏🏻
Hello! Nice Ikea tour 😃 Thank you. Have a nice day! 😊
Living close by in Cabbagetown, I will wait a month until the excitement wears off before going over to take a look. You mentioned the dead mall downstairs. Any time I have been down there it was empty. It is only a matter of time before Ikea takes over that space as well.
Why _didn't_ IKEA take over that 'dead' mall space too?
@@Neville60001 I was talking to one of the merchants downstairs once. I was told those spaces were sold to the merchants. Sooner or later they are going to want to bail out, leaving the space open to Ikea.
wow, used to be a parking lot when I lived down the block
Your mention of the clothes hamper made me realize that mine is ancient. I've had the same one since I was a child so it's about 40 years old. I guess I've never had a reason to replace it. Anyway, I enjoyed the walk through the "urban format."
Thanks for video
Beautiful
Dear Mr. Johnny Strides....OK... Be prepared people... The most awesome adventure ride has been invented... More attractive than Canada's Amusement Park... More thrills than the festival at the Canadian Nation Exhibition Grounds... More enthusiastic fun than watching the Maple Leafs?... Holy smokes... And more exciting than watching an episode of National Geographic and the life of sperm whales and even more thrill-seeking than ascending Mount Everest... I'm talking about opening a brand new Ikea Store... Holy smokes!.... The action of bumping other patrons, deeking around obstacles, jumping over things, somersaulting over furniture, and people snacking.... It's incredible.... It's the most fun since the Egyptians laid the first giant limestone on the Giza Plateau more than five thousand years ago.... Ikea is a modern-day wonder and people watching this vlog are witnessing everything.... Johnny is Toronto's Vlogger.... the end.... Always in Good Taste... CHEERS!... Be Supportive and Subscribe....
June is around the corner 🏖🎣🍻🍻
I wish they would open a store in Sudbury
Great adventure! I went on opening day. Bad mistake! I liked it though and staff was very professional and friendly. If you order something and pick it up at an Ikea, there is only a $5 charge. Penguin is the other place to pick up as well.
I thought about doing that and realized it would have made for more views, but I didn't want to deal with the madness lol. Glad you got out alive!
This place is probably making boat loads of money every day. I went there and it's already so packed and people buying stuff left and right. Such a smart decision for them to open in downtown TO.
We have Ikea in the UK...But two hour journey into the next county from where I live...
love your Hair it is amazing
IKEA should have sponsored this video. I’m definitely going today!
lol
I miss the cheap break fast
Do they have the traditional “shrimp & egg” open face sandwich there? It’s my absolute favourite & sadly the IKEA on the Queensway discontinued it 😢 it’s been a tradition for over 60 years 👍
Hey Johnny. Been following your channel for a while now. What is living in Toronto like? Cost-wise I mean?
Mr. Strides, did you capture any footage of the Gumball Rally that took over Yonge St. today?
I guess you managed to get in to record the hidden camera type video or did you ask for permission?
Do they have frames for pictures? I need the really big ones…lol …great vid
I think so lol
Great video. Do they have car parking available?
No, they don't; if you want to get a large item, you have to have it delivered.
🥊
I’m now in Toronto! I could’ve made it to the premiere but this is not a bad store. I’m actually not too far from the North York store
Welcome to TO!
@@JohnnyStrides Thank you! Thought I would surprise you as I live here for good now, I have family here and consider it my second home. This explains why I was here back in April as I wanted a change from all the happenings in Quebec and to see the city for a preview, plus I am half-familiar with it. Looking forward to seeing more of this city!
Video starts here 3:04
I'm wondering will there be a another video from Pickering
I think he just filmed the two on the way to Pickering and the way home.
There's one more to come but it's just the GO Station. Cheers
ALL MIGRANTS !
When are they going to have something futuristic and different.. the style has always been the same since 2007, even with the lights 🙄
Video starts here 3:04. Thanks for wasting 3 minutes 😒
The video starts at 0:01, I'm not sure what you're on but it must be pretty good.
