IKEA Easter Buffet a Hit




Once again America’s favorite furniture stores stole the hearts and minds of consumers with it’s family focused Easter Buffet / Smorgasbord.  The price was $11.49 for adults kids under the age of 12 only $2.99. Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food continues to draw new customers, crowds, and conglomerates into the mix creating food retail discontinuity. 

Most everyone considers IKEA a furniture store that sell furniture and some food.  It’s important to point out that IKEA’s restaurant Café Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food sold $ 2 Billion dollars of food last year. Yet, the restaurant trade industry overlooks this consumer focused, customer favorite outstanding Grocerant niche food retailer. IKEA serves great fresh food fast.

Again this year IKEA’s traditional Påskbord offering included several Swedish favorites. IKEA’s Smörgåsbord was held Friday, March 27, 2015. This brand integrated Easter marketing helps build value for the brand.  Is your company looking for new revenue stream to edify your brands base? Ikea has found $2 Billion in revenue.

  1. If your goal is to have a satisfying marriage with longevity, make sure that you are responsible for the part you play in the relationship. When you are in denial about their part in the relationship, then you are no better than a child throwing sand at another child. Here at Buffet you can find more information.
