The new IKEA in Edmonton wasnt built until Edmonton (and surrounding areas) hit one million people.

Actually the original IKEA was in SE Edmonton, on 50st and Sherwood Park Freeway (Where the purple UofA Bard building is now). Ikea has been in Edmonton since 1979 according to their website, didnt go to WEM until the mid 80s.
