Then on Veterans Day, Monday, November 11, veterans, active-duty military and their families are invited in-store for an all-day event beginning with gifts to the first veterans and active-duty military in line. The first 100 veterans and active-duty military in line with a valid ID will receive a free picture frame.
Additionally, anyone with an IKEA Family card will have the opportunity to win one of two $100 IKEA gift cards when they check in at an IKEA Family kiosk or scan their card at a register, IKEA Norfolk said in a release.
During the event, the Norfolk Admirals will host a booth in-store from 9:30 a.m. to noon to collect nominations for the “IKEA Military Salute.” One service member nominated in-store will be selected and honored at an upcoming Norfolk Admirals hockey game.
