Even though outdoor malls like Big Shopping Centers (2004) Ltd. (TASE:BIG) are prohibited from opening, furniture store IKEA is set to reopen. The chain has sought legal advice and consulted with its global parent company and decided it is entitled to open because most of the goods that it sells are essential items. IKEA's six stores in Israel will reopen tomorrow (Wednesday). The company stresses that while it is permitted to reopen, it will not recommence full operations with showrooms on the upper floors, restaurants and children's sections remaining closed.
