FISHERS, Ind. -- Construction crews are still hard at work on the IKEA in Fishers. The trademark blue walls are already up, and the bright yellow lettering went up on Tuesday.
You’ve likely been monitoring the progress if you travel I-69 through Fishers - and the building appears to be on course for it's opening this fall.
The 296,000 square-foot building is on the eastern side of I-69, just south of 116th Street exit.
A grand opening date has not yet been set for the Fishers location, but if the visible progress is any indication we aren’t far from hearing when that date might be.
