Pour One Out: The IKEA in Bolingbrook

Oct 8, 2026 · 12m

Summary

Brian and Kenzie discuss the closure of the Bolingbroke IKEA, which is relocating to a smaller 97,000-square-foot space in Naperville as part of a strategy to open more compact stores. The hosts joke about the new location’s proximity to existing traffic and Naperville’s numerous "second downtowns," while also sharing a humorous anecdote about getting lost in the massive Schaumburg store.
