Ikea says Kanye West is visiting the furniture giant’s offices in southern Sweden.
The company confirmed an online report by Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that the rapper is in Almhult, the town in southern Sweden where Ikea was founded in the 1940s and where it retains many key operations.
Whole Foods Market has signed agreements with SolarCity and NRG Energy to install rooftop solar units at up to 100 stores and distribution centers.
NRG of New Jersey will install the units at up to 84 locations in nine states, and San Mateo’s SolarCity will install the rest, and Whole Foods said it would buy discounted power from SolarCity.
The move comes 14 years after the chain installed solar-powered lighting for the first time at a store in Berkeley.
