New York?
Was there not a store in the New York City metropolitan area? (possibly in New Jersey?) -- Petri Krohn 16:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Houston
There was a stor in houston, i dont think this article is very complete. I updated it to include Houston.
Store layout was copyrighted?
Did STOR really have to change their store layout due specifically to "copyright infringement?" I wouldn't think that could be copyrighted. --Fxer 18:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
According to this [1] it looks more like the catalog and furniture replication were the legal issues, as a "retail concept" is hard to protect legally, apparently. --Fxer 18:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
California
The Burbank location referenced in the article was purpose-built as an IKEA store. The writer presumably had this location confused with Tustin, which was originally a Stør location. IKEA did in fact take over this building, and operated it as an IKEA store for a time.
The Tustin IKEA store was closed approximately in conjunction with the opening of the (purpose-built) Covina store.
I did not edit the article because I do not have a reference for this information. Sterling Gillette 22:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Pop Culture Reference
This might be a bit nebulous, but I think the old animated sitcom 'Animaniacs' made a reference to this retailer with a similar cartoonish merchandiser named 'Shøp'. NitekMobilian (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:43, 10 April 2011 (UTC).
