Have You Heard Ikea is Coming to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Next Year?
If you've been on the interwebs today browsing around on Facebook you may have seen the announcement on your news feed that Ikea is coming to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma sometime next year. That's right the MEGA furniture and meatball superstore is setting up shop in the Sooner State! It sounds too good to be true...
It was announced that Ikea would be building a new store in Broken Arrow, OK. at 801 West Albany Street. Now before you get too damn excited you should know it's not true. That's right, it's all a gag. An EPIC one day early April Fools joke that was pulled off by the Broken Arrow Fried Chicken District. They made the announcement earlier today on their official Facebook page and it's spreading like wildfire!
I think it's hilarious, but some people are really upset by this. I guess they got their hopes up and found out that it's all a joke and are all butthurt about it. The story has even been featured on the Fox 23 News website dispelling the rumors and sadly dashing the hopes of many in doing so. You can click here to read the story.
What makes this even funnier is the fake Facebook page that was made promoting the new Ikea in Broken Arrow. You can check it out here. Hats off to the Broken Arrow Fried Chicken District for one of the best and most EPIC April Fools pranks yet! It's even better and funnier that it's a day early. They definitely fooled me...
