IKEA announced on October 6, 2026 that its 313,000‑square‑foot store in Bolingbrook will be closed and a smaller‑format location will later open in Naperville.
The decision marks a shift for the retailer after years as a long‑standing member of the Bolingbrook business community. The mayor of Bolingbrook, Mary Alexander-Basta, was noted in connection with the announcement.
