- I know that there's one in the Los Angeles area as well. I think it's at the
- Sherman Oaks Galleria.

- I've also looked up the information for the Edmonton store:
-
- Edmonton IKEA
- West Edmonton Mall, Phase 3
- 2556 - 8770 - 170th St.
- Edmonton, AB T5T 4M2
- Canada

- Phone: (403) 444-2345
- Telefax: (403) 444-1874

- (This information comes from the 1992 Canadian catalogue.)
