San Francisco to serve as IKEA's first Swedish Deli in the U.S.

• Swedish Bite will sell refrigerated meals and vegan cinnamon buns, while Swedish Deli will sell IKEA's popular Swedish meatballs as well as vegan alternatives and a range of other hot dishes.

The big picture: The new, 85,000-square-foot IKEA will feature three levels and will showcase a range of home furnishing items focused on "affordability, sustainability and small-space living," a press release notes.

• The store will be part of a new mall operated by Ingka Centres, IKEA's sister company.
• The mall will include coworking spaces and a food hall that primarily offers plant-based options.

What to watch: IKEA San Francisco will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony just before it opens at 11am Wednesday. Customers will be able to enjoy games, workshops and giveaways throughout opening day.
