IF an Ikea official ever said that he/she was either lying or clueless. It is demonstratively false. Ikea currently has stores in Charlotte (metro population 1.75 million); Salt Lake City (metro population 1.1 million); and Austin (metro population 1.7 million).

Ikea has announced they plan a major expansion in the United States over the rest of this decade. No doubt, OKC is not at the top of their prospect list, but I would not be surprised to see a store in OKC around the end of this decade.
