I Kia. Ikia is the world's most successful furniture outlet and they want to stay that way. Now. Ikia wants to add new store locations to respond to changes in the way people live in shop. Right now, most Ikias are in suburban areas outside major cities. But the company says it over the next twenty years, fewer people are going to be driving, or we'll even have cars. Obviously they're talking about millennials, and I'll bet you that's not true. But that's a whole different day. So I Kia is
hunting for prime downtown locations in big cities worldwide. You're looking in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Mumbai. Always loves saying Mumbai. And they're also looking in New York City. Not to elected officials in almost all of these cities, this is great news. Big company wants to invest in their downtown areas. Means tax dollars, ancillary businesses, and more economic activity. But you i KA executives that
better beware. If you really want to open a New York store, you better come up with a plan to deal with New York liberals. They hate big business. They might like your furniture, but they don't want to pay for it, and they will run big business out of town. Whatever they can. Ask Amazon about that, Bezos, he'll tell you I can't wait to see this
