IKEA has planned to open a 1000-seater restaurant to be featured in its Hyderabad store which will house 7500 furniture and home furnishing products. The restaurant will serve both Indian and Swedish cuisines. It will also have a play area for children and a day-care centre for children of its employees. The company, which received Government approval in 2013 to invest Rs 10,500 crore in India under the 100 per cent FDI route, plans to open its second store in Mumbai. And going further, it plans to open 25 stores in nine Indian cities. Surging of new high-end stores will be an added business advantage for the signage companies whose jobs revolve around in-store branding, designing, displays and such tasks.
