（来源：中国商报） 【买地投资策略失效？宜家中国回应关闭7家门店】近日，宜家中国发布关于调整门店布局的说明。 2026年2月起将陆续关闭7家商场，包括上海宝山、广州番禺、天津中北、南通、徐州、宁波及哈尔滨门 店。针对此举，宜家中国表示，关闭或增设业务单元，目的是为了增加坪效，将资源投向更贴近消费者 的渠道和能力。不过，宜家会继续在中国投资，其还在加码中国市场的数字化投入。公开商业地产信息 里，目前尚未见宜家上述关闭门店的招商信息。不过，宜家商场面积庞大，若整体出租或出售，对接盘 方的资金与运营要求也会很高，这意味着宜家关闭的门店地块，可能无法很快被转手。宜家在全球及中 国运营商场的核心方式是买地。在房地产高速增长的时期，这种重型投资为宜家带来高比例回报。但当 房地产行业回归理性后，挥斥重金买下的商场就成为一笔不划算的投资。而房地产行业在调整的同时也 在影响家具家居等相关产业。你喜欢逛宜家吗？对此，你怎么看？#宜家宣布关闭7家门店# 转自：中国商报 ...
