Mid-Market residents said they're excited to see IKEA open on Wednesday as a needed boost to the neighborhood and the first of what they hope will be many more businesses coming to that part of the city.

"I think it's going to be a great addition to the neighborhood, I personally want to check out the food court," said Phillip Sabbagh, who has lived in Mid-Market since 2015."I think as more people come back this city will in turn become more attractive. I mean, the city still has a lot to offer."

There are smaller items for sale and the option to order larger furniture pieces that can be delivered. In addition to selling food, there are meeting spaces and offices available for leasing as well. Other residents are excited about the store opening and plan to shop there but were surprised they chose that location on Market Street, worried it will be a challenge to maintain and secure given the crime concerns around San Francisco.

Mayor London Breed praised the company for opening a store in San Francisco and said they would be a good partner for the city by working with the neighborhood to meet their unique needs and hire locally.
