But think of the traffic, Ikea!
Exeter's neighbourhood police team say problems with traffic in the Newcourt area around Ikea is leading to complaints from residents, and "management of increased demand" is the responsibility of the Swedish furniture store.
Although the police say they'll work towards a long-term solution, they won't be providing "dedicated police resourcing to patrol the residential area during predicted high demand. Ikea will be held to account for providing an engagement plan with residents and a strategy for mitigating future concerns."
The store has been a big hit with shoppers since it opened in May. Exeter City Council and the city's chamber of commerce have heralded it as a major coup for the city. But with a bit hit comes pressure on infrastructure. It is understood that Ikea is considering paying for a bus service allowing shoppers to park at the store and then travel into the city centre.
