STØR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
STØR Furnishings International Inc. was an American furniture chain based in Southern California that opened in 1987. It sold European-style furniture and ready-to-assemble furnishings. IKEA filed a lawsuit against the company shortly after opening, claiming copyright infringement, and was settled in 1988 with STØR being forced to change the layout of their stores and advertising. Widely considered a knockoff of IKEA by many, the chain was acquired by IKEA in 1992. Currently, the Burbank location is the only location currently in operation as an IKEA.
