Massive in size as expected with a delicious food court, takes a while to get fully around the store but has everything you need, the staff are overly friendly and it’s nice given the huge space, they’ll always give you directions but it’s easy enough to go without if you’re someone who prefers to keep their head down. Would recommend to anyone needing bits and bobs for the household

It sounds like a great IKEA shopping experience! The Warrington IKEA is indeed quite large, with a wide range of products available.
I also had IKEA’s classic hot dog, which looks like a great deal. With two sausages and sauces, it’s definitely the perfect snack after a long shopping session!

Good choice of nice furniture,if you want to buy branded cooking pot or fry pan then is no a place .Some of the product are more expensive then in normal shop , however I think IKEA is more concentrated on furniture. There is also a restaurant where you can eat with all family, good parking space . Great and well organised place to go with kids

I always love a trip to IKEA, and we had a great day at IKEA Warrington. The meatballs never disappoint! We also really appreciated the Click and Collect service—it saved us from having to hunt down everything on our list like we were on a mission. Instead, we could just wander, picking up things we weren’t sure about or discovering new items we liked along the way.

Perfect, you have 3 employees in store today who have gone above and beyond for a customer, that customer being me, I visited this store for a sensory experience which I get and love but too much and it takes my speech. I use BSL to communicate. Joanna with the face art, I love it, llorna the cleaner and Paul the tills, big up what an amazing 3 employees you have. I wish every store was like Ikea in Warrington.

4/5

A bustling IKEA that seems to be busy every time we visit, whatever the day or time. Parking bays are tight, which is incongruent with the vehicles required to pick up large packages containing flat pack furniture.
Staff are friendly and helpful and the range of goods is extensive and of good quality.
If you don’t follow the store flow, it’s easy to get lost, which is time consuming if you only need items from a specific area.
The cafe on the ground floor offers a limited menu of food, which is good quality, but basic.

In short - retail excellence, food & drink in the chaotic restaurant - appalling.
Tagged along with Mrs Panda, as much as anything else as one retail business owner looking how the masters of psychology have created a 45 billion euro furniture behemoth that is also the world's 10th largest food retailer. For you see IKEA has meticulously mastered the art of what they call "exerting maximum retail stress on the shopper". Ie using every trick in the book to wring every last penny from you. And Warrington IKEA shows you the art of sales in all it's glory.
Crossing the threshold one undergoes the 'Gruen Transfer' whereby your initial shopping list or intentions, go out the window. It's a well known psychological effect observed when shoppers enter a deliberately overwhelming and deliberately confusing retail environment. This effect increases likelihood of impulse purchases, and also leads to higher than intended spending. The path - you are taken slowly and deliberately around the whole shop for maximum exposure to everything. Doesn't matter if you only came for some kitchen taps or whatever, you are slowly and meanderingly guided to see the whole damn offering. Every salt cellar, desk, wardrobe, plant pot, mirror... This also creates a false sense of scarcity, you are unlikely to want to go all the way back round for that chopping board, so better stick it in the trolley (trolleys come around a 3rd of the way round once you realise the thoughtfully provided shopping bags by the door are not going to cut it.)
All these articles are also shown in fully made up rooms to trigger familiarity so you can picture yourself using them, with plenty of mirrors around to make sure you physically see yourself reinforcing this.
Bulla Bulla dump bins have products piled high, displayed in a way that makes them look cheap (think the cuddly toys for example).
Another intriguing psychology behind how IKEA entices you to spend more is something called the Diderot Effect. This phenomenon describes our tendency to desire additional, complementary items once we acquire something new. This effect is brilliantly utilised at IKEA through their well-designed showrooms showcasing complete room setups. By immersing you in these stylish displays, IKEA triggers a sense of cohesion and prompts you to buy more than just the main item. You find yourself irresistibly drawn to the perfectly matching accessories, decor, and furnishings.
Then we have pricing and the decoy effect, whether it is chests of drawers or air purifiers, you see a cheap product, a product of quality materials, and the decoy that is neither cheap nor finished in those quality materials, usually priced in the middle. Studies show the decoy effect not only boosts sales but can increase the retailer’s gross profit by 14.3%.
Among behavioural scientists, IKEA is so known for the psychological tricks it employs that they have even named a psychological phenomenon after it. This IKEA effect is a cognitive bias where we place a higher value on items we build ourselves, regardless of the quality of the end result. In other words, labour leads to love.
Now half way through, it's no surprise you get the restaurant, with its bewilderingly priced (cheap and expensive items side by side) and THE MEATBALLS!! The food at IKEA doesn’t only have an impact on food sales. It also has a priming effect on how customers think, feel, and act in the store. Eating primes a state of happiness, and that mood can affect how much customers spend and what they buy. Importantly having had that expensive new kitchen designed for you, the food gives you time to think, and of course the dopamine effect of eating comfort food means shoppers are more likely to decide to go ahead with those big purchases. Oh, and IKEA shoppers that eat in the in-store restaurant spend close to double what non-eaters spend. All those meatballs make IKEA one of the world's biggest food retailers - not a bad side hustle.
We spent nearly £400 here today. The system works.
