10 Businesses Faked in China
IKEA
A store named ‘11 Furniture’ can be found in Kunming in southwest China. It is a 100,000-plus-square-foot, four-story retail center that resembles the Sweden-based IKEA in everything except its name. The store is said to have copied Ikea’s blue and yellow color scheme, mock-up rooms, miniature pencils, signage, and even rocking chair designs, according to reports by Reuters. While the name of the store in English is not the same, in Chinese, 11 Furniture is "Shi Yi Jia Ju," which is pretty similar to IKEA, which is "Yi Jia Jia Ju."
