Ikea reveals Aberdeen store closure date, what it means for furniture shoppers.
Ikea has confirmed the closure date for its Aberdeen site in Altens. The final day is Sunday 1 March 2026.
If you use the Aberdeen Ikea as your go to furniture warehouse style trip, the closure matters because it changes how you browse, buy, and collect. The current site is part of Ikea’s order and collection model, so it blends showroom style inspiration with ordering and collection services.
Where is the Aberdeen Ikea that is closing
The current Ikea Aberdeen location is at Wellington Circle, Altens, Aberdeen, AB12 3QW.
Why Ikea is closing the Altens site
The shift is part of Ikea’s ongoing move toward smaller, planning led formats in some cities, while keeping access to the full range through ordering and delivery.
What replaces it, Ikea is moving into the city
Ikea has said the Aberdeen order and collection point will relocate to Union Square in spring 2026. The new format is expected to focus more on planning support, with customers ordering from the full range for delivery or collection options.
What this means if you shop like a “furniture warehouse” customer
A furniture warehouse trip usually means walking the floor, comparing lots of items quickly, and filling the boot with anything from storage to soft furnishings.
After the Altens closure, your best approach is to plan the trip differently.
1. Use online browsing to shortlist what you want before you go.
2. Confirm collection options and lead times on the specific items.
3. Treat the new city centre location as a place to get advice, see samples, and finalise a plan, rather than expecting the same warehouse feel.
What this means if you prefer a “furniture store” visit
If you like a furniture store experience, talk to staff, refine a kitchen or bedroom plan, confirm measurements, finishes, and layout, the newer planning led format can suit you well.
The key is knowing what you are going there for.
1. Planning and design support.
2. Checking finishes, colours, and comfort.
3. Placing an order for delivery or collection.
