While the Paramus location is for the suburban shoppers, the IKEA Elizabeth at 1000 IKEA Dr is a high-octane logistics marvel designed for the urban hustler and the savvy budget-traveler.
Towering over the New Jersey Turnpike at Exit 13A, this 350,000-square-foot behemoth is more than a store—it is a landmark of the North Jersey industrial landscape, famously positioned right in the flight path of Newark Liberty International Airport.
The Elizabeth "Insider" Advantages
The UEZ Tax Break: This is the store's biggest open secret. Because Elizabeth is a designated Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ), you only pay half the state sales tax (roughly 3.3%) on in-store purchases. For big-ticket items like kitchen remodels or full bedroom sets, this makes Elizabeth significantly cheaper than almost any other IKEA in the tri-state area.
The "Aviation" Dining Experience: The Swedish Restaurant here offers a view you won't find at any other location. As you eat your meatballs, you have a front-row seat to the runways of Newark Airport. It’s a local "plane-spotting" tradition to watch United 787s and cargo giants bank over the Turnpike while you plan your floor layout.
The "Furniture Row" Hub: Unlike standalone locations, this IKEA anchors the "Elizabeth Center." You can hit IKEA, then walk over to the massive Raymour & Flanigan or Floor & Decor next door, turning 1000 IKEA Dr into a one-stop-shop for a total home gut-renovation.
Sunday Shopping (The Paramus Antidote): While the Paramus store is forced to close on Sundays due to Bergen County Blue Laws, the Elizabeth store is wide open. This makes it the weekend sanctuary for the entire region—though be prepared for the legendary "Sunday Crowd."
Pro-Tips for the Elizabeth Veteran
The NYC Connection: If you live in Manhattan and don't have a car, this is your home base. The IKEA Shuttle and several NJ Transit buses make this the most accessible suburban store for city dwellers.
The "As-Is" Bingo: This location frequently hosts unique community events, like "As-Is Bingo," where you can win gently used floor models and discontinued pieces.
Newark Layover Hack: If you have a long layover at EWR, it is common for travelers to take a quick Uber to the IKEA café for a cheap meal and a place to charge their phones with a view of the tarmac.
Such an interesting Swedish story

Perhaps it is somewhere deep in the minds of these wonderful guys
Everything must be in order
Seems like a standard, but not quite. Some special ideas and always striving for the ideal. The quality of each product.
This seems to be the soul of Swedish designers and their approach to business.
Everything should be to your liking and at a reasonable price. By the way, the issue of ecology has not been forgotten.
