The Ikea that is being built 6 miles from our home will open this fall.

It was just announced today that across the street from the Ikea they will be building an 836,000 square foot upscale outdoor mall on 87 acres which is expected to include a Bass Pro Shop and perhaps a Marshall Field's.

Plans call for six sit-down restaurants, 90 apparel tenants, a 900-seat movie theater and an indoor go-cart racetrack

Construction is expected to start in the early spring, with an estimated opening of the Bass Pro Shop within a year.
