The store has also sold 113,293 units of popular Lack tables, which would stacked one on top of other be higher than Dinara, the highest peak in Croatia. The 80,456 packages of Glimma candles sold could illuminate the motorway from Zagreb to Šibenik.
According to an independent study conducted by Moj Posao website, in the very first year of operations, IKEA was selected as the best employer among large Croatian companies. In the past two years, it was selected among the best three employers. IKEA delivery centres were opened in Rijeka in July 2017, in Split in September 2017, and in Osijek in June 2018.
Recently, the largest retail outlet complex in Croatia, Designer Outlet Croatia, was opened next to the IKEA department store. The Swedish furniture giant, along with its partners, will invest 88 million euro during the two phases of construction and open about 400 new jobs.
