Ikea sells map with no NZ

-

Popular homewares chain Ikea has been called out on social media for selling a map without New Zealand on it. The Bjo¨rksta map is sold in Australia for A$59. A Reddit user remarked on it, taking a photograph of it at a store in Washington, DC. ‘‘Wonder if they’re going to sell these maps in the new Auckland store,’’ one commenter replied. Ikea’s Australian office said it was seeking a response from its head office in Sweden. The multinatio­nal company confirmed last month that it had plans to open its first New Zealand megastore in Auckland, and said it was looking at locations with government agencies and the private sector.
