Where Is the Best Place to Put an IKEA in the Hudson Valley NY?

There are a few stores that inspire loyalty so much so that when people hear the name of the store and also the words 'Coming Soon to the Hudson Valley' that they get super excited. Stores that might cause that excitement include Trader Joe's, Wegman's and yes, IKEA.

The big blue building with the large yellow letters, and the top floor cafe with their meatballs. So, should we grab out set of Allen wrenches and get ready to have an IKEA in the Hudson Valley? Let's be straight right off the bat, to my knowledge there is not an IKEA coming to the Hudson Valley, but there is no reason we shouldn't go ahead and get ready for them to do so, maybe even find a real estate spot that is perfect for that big blue icon?

The first place that comes to mind is the old mall that is on Route 9 and Route 84 in Fishkill NY. Come on, it is right off a major highway, would be easy to get to from many areas. It would bring a large amount of sales tax revenue to Dutchess County NY, and it is already close by to the very large Gap Distribution Center which is sort of across the street (ok a mile or two north). What do you think?
