The second floor showroom looks ready (as seen from street-facing windows on both Yonge and Gerrard). The store should be open soon.

Isn't that the *real* reason why we go to Ikea in the first place?

I went through the Ikea website yesterday. Billy bookcases are not available at that location. Same for patio sets, sofa beds; even folding chairs like the gunde. Most things I'm looking at are not available at that location.
My excitement level has gone from a 10 to a 4. Will definitely go check it out.

This location is basically going to be a showroom plus knckknack. I don't expect any serious furniture to be available there at all. I have heard that Ikea is having some supply chain issues right now with a lot of items unavailable anywhere.

I get that. What I had in mind, something like this:
Use the space to showcase the furniture for small spaces then provide you with the option of getting it shipped to your location. Will find out next week.

Ideally (hopefully?) in time they can reclaim the entire podium/basement and have a least some stock on site for popular items (like Billy!!!).
