Hundreds of people queued outside IKEA stores in the Midlands on Monday (June 1) as stores reopened for the first time since the lockdown.
IKEA in Wednesbury is one of 19 stores to start trading and was evidently missed by the public.
On Monday morning the Birmingham store attracted large queues of people who waited patiently in lines around the car park for it to open at 10am.
