Investopedia explains 'Ingvar Kamprad'

Kamprad founded the company in 1943, but it originally sold small items like wallets and ballpoint pens.

The first store opened in Sweden in 1958, and the United States saw its first IKEA in 1985. In 2009, the company operated 309 franchised retail stores in more than 35 countries.
