SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 46



	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 

recognize the representatives of IKEA on the splendid occasion 

of the grand opening of the company's new store in Frisco on 

August 3, 2005; and

	WHEREAS, The IKEA stores offer home furnishings that are 

noted for superior design and function and for prices that appeal 

to a wide range of people with many different needs, goals, and 

finances; and

	WHEREAS, IKEA home furnishings are based on the Swedish 

tradition of using light colors, natural textiles, and untreated 

surfaces; IKEA also offers a product range that covers the needs 

of the whole family; and

	WHEREAS, Since it was founded in Sweden over 60 years ago, 

IKEA has continued its tradition of creating high-quality 

furnishings as inexpensively as possible, while ensuring that 

its suppliers adhere to the IKEA code of conduct regarding social 

and working conditions; IKEA also requires that its materials be 

free of hazardous substances, and that the wood used in its 

products does not come from areas where forests are being 

depleted; and

	WHEREAS, Offering over 10,000 home furnishing products, a 

restaurant, a Swedish food market, a bistro, and a play area, 

IKEA Frisco will undoubtedly be a highly successful venture in 

Collin County; and

	WHEREAS; Respected for its tradition of commitment to the 

environment and the community, IKEA will be an invaluable asset 

to the citizens of North Texas, who are already greatly 

appreciative of the company's selection of the Collin County 

Children's Advocacy Center as its charity of choice; now, 

therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 

79th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend all 

associated with IKEA for their vision of generating a better 

life for their customers and extend to them a warm welcome to the 

City of Frisco; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as an 

expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

                                                                         Shapiro
