    It is actually IKANO that are holding the franchise as for most other outlets in the world! IKANO is basically an IKEA owned company. Phillipines was always considered a suitable market but domestic laws has been the obstacle. Same thing in Thailand until a couple of years ago when IKEA opened their first Thai operation south of BKK. There is also an IKEA warehouse in Phuket now. I am sure there will be "out-of-stock" items. Happens all the time even in Sweden.

    Yes, retail trade enterprises with paid up capital in excess of US 2,500,000 can be owned by foreigners. As per the negative list:

    I am sure an IKEA store has much more than US 2,500,000 invested in inventory alone.
