Anybody know the status of Ikea @ Loule? I know they started site clearance in January but I don't know how long the build is scheduled to take and current predictions on when it will open.

There is still a challenge to the development going ahead, a rear guard action by local traders who will be pushed out by the development.
A bit stupid because ground works an clearance have already started, and the whole devopment, not just IKEA will bring hundreds of much needed jobs to the area.

Not to mention that it'll save you driving to Seville for replacement tea mugs !!
