What time does the IKEA Alexandra store open?

Store opening hours Monday–Friday

The IKEA Alexandra store on weekdays opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m., as listed on the official IKEA Singapore – IKEA Alexandra page. These hours took effect from , when IKEA Singapore revised operating times for both Alexandra and Tampines stores (IKEA Singapore – Stores in Singapore).

Store opening hours Saturday–Sunday

On weekends and public holidays, the store opens an hour earlier at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Alexandra). This consistent closing time makes evening visits easy — you have until 10 p.m. to browse and shop.

Public holiday adjustments

IKEA Alexandra follows the same weekend schedule on most public holidays, but it’s wise to check the IKEA Singapore stores page for any last‑minute changes. Singpromos, a third‑party deals site, occasionally lists holiday hours — for example, Chinese New Year 2025 hours — but those are not official (Singpromos).

Bottom line: IKEA Alexandra opens at 11 a.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. on weekends. The closing time is always 10 p.m. For shoppers rushing after work, the 10 p.m. soft close is generous — but note that the restaurant stops serving earlier.

What are IKEA Alexandra breakfast opening hours?

Bistro opening hours

The Swedish Bistro at IKEA Alexandra maintains the same schedule as the store: Mon–Fri 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Sat–Sun 10 a.m.–10 p.m. (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Alexandra).

Breakfast menu items and pricing

Breakfast is served only on weekends from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at IKEA Alexandra and Tampines, according to IKEA Singapore’s restaurant page. The menu includes classic Swedish breakfast items, hot dishes, and a fika (coffee break) slot from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays while stocks last.

Last order times

Last orders for the restaurant are 9 p.m. (weekdays) and 9:30 p.m. (weekends) (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Alexandra). The bistro, which handles takeaway snacks, stays open until store close.

The trade‑off

If you want a hot meal later in the evening, you have until 9 p.m. (weekdays) or 9:30 p.m. (weekends) to place your order. After that, only the bistro is available — a good alternative for last‑minute cravings.

The implication: if you want a full meal, arrive before the restaurant closes rather than relying on the bistro for hot dishes.

Is IKEA food 50% off on Fridays?

Friday offer details

Yes — IKEA Family members get 50% off selected dishes every Friday at both the Swedish Restaurant and Bistro. The offer is part of IKEA Family perks and applies to specific menu items, including meatball plates and other hot dishes (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Family).

Eligible dishes and pricing

The discount covers a rotating selection of main dishes. Exclusions apply — premium items and drinks are usually not included. Check the in‑app or in‑store signage for the current list (IKEA Singapore – Swedish Restaurant).

How to claim the discount

Simply show your IKEA Family card (physical or digital) at the counter before paying. No coupon needed. The discount is automatically applied at the till (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Family).

The catch

The 50% off is limited to certain dishes, not the entire menu. If you’re eyeing a premium seafood plate, check before you queue — the deal typically covers the core meatball range, not the salmon or plant‑based options.

The pattern: IKEA uses the Friday offer to drive traffic to its core meatball menu, not to discount premium items.

What does code 99 mean in IKEA?

Code 99 definition

Code 99 is a security alert used in IKEA stores worldwide to indicate a potential emergency — typically a medical incident or security threat, not an active shooter. Store staff are trained to respond by securing exits and guiding customers away from the area (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Alexandra – store policies).

How staff respond to Code 99

When a Code 99 is announced, employees lock down the affected zone, prevent movement into the area, and wait for security or paramedics. Customers may hear an overhead message or see staff directing them calmly.

Is Code 99 dangerous?

No more dangerous than any other store emergency. It’s a precautionary protocol, not a signal of violence. IKEA uses Code 99 as an internal code to avoid alarming shoppers unnecessarily while maintaining safety.

What is the IKEA Family birthday coupon?

How to get the birthday coupon

IKEA Family members enrolled in the program receive a free hot or cold drink coupon around their birthday. The coupon is automatically loaded into your IKEA Family account and can be redeemed at any IKEA Singapore store (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Family).

What the coupon offers

The coupon is valid for one free hot or cold beverage from the restaurant or bistro. It cannot be used for alcoholic drinks or bottled beverages.

Terms and conditions

The coupon is valid for 30 days from your birthday. You must be an active IKEA Family member at the time of redemption. Only one coupon per membership year (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Family).

How to plan your visit to IKEA Alexandra

Step 1: Check the day and time

Weekday mornings are least crowded. If you’re picking up furniture, arrive before 6 p.m. to avoid the dinner‑rush in the restaurant.

Step 2: Use the shuttle bus

A free shuttle bus runs from Redhill MRT (EW18) every 30 minutes from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. (IKEA Singapore – IKEA Alexandra – directions).

Step 3: Time your meals

Book a table for the restaurant during non‑peak hours (lunch before 12:30 p.m., dinner before 7 p.m.). Breakfast is available only on weekends.

Step 4: Bring your IKEA Family card

For discounts on Fridays and the birthday coupon, keep your card handy. You can also download the IKEA app for digital access.
