If the immense Burbank Ikea doesn't quite feel large enough for you, rest easy: a new store almost twice as big as that one is now underway nearby. Construction began yesterday on a 456,000-square-foot home furnishing and Swedish meatball outpost on a 22-acre lot less than a mile away from the existing store, near San Fernando Boulevard and Providencia Avenue, reports City News Service. That's more than eight football fields, our friends at Racked have pointed out, and it'll be the biggest Ikea in the US. Imagine how many relationships will be able to fall apart at once in there.
