While most of us have seen bike lots outside most IKEA stores, IKEA Germany has come up with another type of parking for its customers - 'dog parking.' Set up in the front of its store is a series of astro-turf lawns where owners can 'park' their dogs while they go shopping - IKEA even provides water bowls in case your canine companion gets thirsty.
Instead of dog owners having to leave their pets at home, IKEA Germany has developed a creative strategy that not only keeps its store clean, but also keeps dogs and their owners happy.
