Visualisation of the expansion of IKEA

It's missing the only two locations I've ever been to: one closed (Halifax) and one just opened (Taichung). Given that no dots disappeared, I suspect there were other closures that aren't shown.

There's another one that's a little funny. Ikea opened in Aalborg Denmark in the 80s and closed again in the 90s. That store isn't shown, it's only the reopening in 2008 that's listed.

My point is: "Ikea stores fails too"

Closed stores do seem to be missing. There were several that were around (~1985 - ~1995) in Victoria, Australia that are not listed.

Semi-citation for one: https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200701301934... (Think the dates are wrong.)

I was wondering where the Halifax one was, I distinctly remember being there as a child. Ballpit!
