Unfortunately the satellite picture is not in high resolution. It's the round building in the middle. The place is full of other big stores and is called Kungens Kurva (=The king's curve) because the former King of Sweden Gustaf V crasched with his car here in 1946. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=59.267240,17.909946&spn=0.019293,0.058464&t=k&hl=en I think this IKEA in Stockholm, Sweden was the first “big” store in Sweden built in 1965 (the one in Älhult was the first built in 1953).
