IKEA has a new store opening in April, a UK first.

IKEA Croydon will have a new Decathlon store inside it. The Decathlon store will have its own entrance and will be 1,188 square meters big. It will sell sports equipment and be near IKEA's home items.

The first 100 customers on April 24 will get a free backpack and gift voucher.

On April 24 and 25, the first 100 customers will get a free bag. To get the bag, customers need to show their Decathlon membership. They can sign up on the day or online.

On April 25, the store will have a mini sports area with a climbing wall and face painting.

Customers can try sports challenges and win prizes on April 25. The store will be open on Sunday too.

The Decathlon store will sell over 5,000 sports products.

IKEA Croydon will now be a one-stop shop for home and sports needs.

Many people in the UK like doing hobbies at home, according to IKEA's report.

The new Decathlon store will sell items for hiking, camping, and other sports.

Decathlon's Buy Back scheme will let customers exchange old equipment for vouchers.

The IKEA Croydon manager said the store has changed since it opened in 1992.

IKEA is opening a new Decathlon store in Croydon this spring.

The new Decathlon store is part of IKEA's plan to make its stores better.

IKEA is expanding in the UK and opened seven new stores last year.

The new stores include small-format stores in retail parks.

The Decathlon UK director is excited about the new store in IKEA Croydon.

The new store will make it easy for people to buy sports equipment and home items in one place.

The store will help people in South London to be more active and have fun.
