I imagine it also helps with family shoppers. If the kids or one spouse is tired or bored they can go to the restaurant. Ikea's restaurant is so cheap that some people go there just for that. I think they buy their furniture and household products at ikea.

I never leave IKEA without stopping for their hot dogs. Were I living close to it, I'd go for those hot dogs frequently.

For me it's their bags of meatballs but I'd also have a hotdog just for the road home :)

Our local IKEA actually has a free crèche too, so the kids don't get bored either.
