The Swedish retailer announced last month it had hired contractors for the massive project. When complete, the store, which covers 35 acres near I-69 and 116th Street, is expected to employ about 250 people.
When IKEA announced it was opening the facility last November, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness called the move a "big win" for the city. The ground breaking ceremony is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Inside INdiana Business will be in attendance at the ground breaking ceremony and will have more in our afternoon INside Edge e-newsletter.
