Hybrid Parking Spots At Ikea
According to CBC, drivers of hybrid cars can now also expect to get a plum parking spot at Ikea stores in Canada thanks to a new program designed to reward green consumers.
The Swedish furniture retailer has pledged to dedicate two spots near the front of the store for hybrid vehicles. Drivers of low-emission cars can also make use of the spots (hello Honda Fit drivers!).
The 22 spots (two at each location) will be located directly after the handicapped and family parking near the entrance of the IKEA store. Drivers will recognize the preferred spaces by the Green signage, both on the ground and at eye level. Depending on the response from customers, and as the trend towards hybrid vehicles grows, more green parking spaces may be added. IKEA is committed to long term sustainability, particularly in terms of transportation. All stores are located close to public transit for both co-workers and customers. However, as a destination shopping location that is typically reached by car, IKEA is rewarding customers who are doing their part for the environment and recognizing the growing trend towards hybrid vehicle purchases in Canada.
