'in homeware store' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'pickle jar not oddly' is the wordplay.
'not oddly' means one should take alternating letters (odd letters are removed).
'pickle'+'jar'='picklejar'
The alternating letters of 'picklejar' are 'IKEA'.

'found' acts as a link.
