IKEA is attempting to stop illegal “non-sponsored sleepovers” from taking place in their worldwide network of stores.
These sleepovers have been carried out by people who hide themselves in IKEA stores to spend the night with friends. The company has received reports of such incidents in countries including the US, UK, Japan, Netherlands and Poland.
Two Belgian YouTubers who posted footage of themselves having an IKEA “sleepover” in August are thought to have started the craze. The video has been watched more than 1.5 million times. – BBC
