In October 2018, the founder of the Mandarin Plaza Group, Vagif Aliyev, announced that IKEA might open its second store in Ukraine with an area of 30,000 square meters at Kyiv's new shopping mall Lisovyi on Brovarsky Prospekt in early 2020. He also said that IKEA shops would be open in other shopping centers under construction.
