Where Is the Wayfair Store In 2024? (All You Need to Know)

Wayfair, the e-commerce giant known for its vast selection of home furnishings, is moving into brick-and-mortar retail with some exciting store openings on the horizon. But where exactly are the Wayfair stores located? When will they open? And what can shoppers expect from a visit? This insider guide has all the details you need for 2024 and beyond.

The Rise of Wayfair‘s Physical Store Presence

Founded in 2002 as an online-only company, Wayfair has seen tremendous growth over the past two decades. The company reported $14.1 billion in net revenue in 2021, up from just $9.1 billion the year before—a massive 54.7% year-over-year increase.

With business booming, Wayfair is taking their first major step into physical retail through two upcoming store openings:

These locations will allow Wayfair to showcase their depth of inventory spanning living room seating, bedroom sets, kitchenware, home décor, outdoor furniture, and more. By giving shoppers a tangible experience with the vast product selection, Wayfair hopes to continue growing their loyal customer base.

What to Expect: Store Layouts and Offerings

The King of Prussia location is taking over a former JC Penney space, allowing ample room to demonstrate Wayfair‘s catalog at scale. Complete store layout plans have not been publicly shared, but we do know shoppers can expect:

• A rooftop deck lounge and café for taking a break between shopping
• Decorated room displays (living room, bedroom, etc.) highlighting Wayfair furniture/décor
• Plenty of inventory on-hand for immediate purchase or same-day delivery
• Design consultants to assist customers with space planning/furnishing
• Seamless integration with Wayfair.com for looking up additional product info/reviews/images

The Wilmette store, while slightly larger at 152,000 square feet, remains mostly a mystery for now. But if King of Prussia is any indication, it will mimic the interactive, service-focused experience that makes furniture shopping enjoyable.

Wayfair Outlet Store for Discounted Finds

In addition to the two forthcoming stores, deal-seekers can also shop Wayfair products at discounted prices through their Florence, KY outlet location. With over 67,000 square feet of space, this store sells returned, damaged, or excess inventory items from Wayfair and its family of brands. Shoppers can score major savings on everything from area rugs to mattresses.

Online Order Shipping: What to Expect

Given Wayfair‘s roots as an e-tailer, most shoppers will still make purchases directly through Wayfair.com and have items shipped to their home.

Wayfair facilitates shipping via a drop-ship model, with orders sent to customers directly from the supplier warehouses after purchase. This means delivery times can vary, but Wayfair provides guidance on each product page:

• Fastest Delivery: Look for items with "2-day" or "1-day" badges, ensuring delivery within that timeframe from order date
• Standard Shipping: 5-7 business days from the order date
• Special Order Items: May take 2-3 weeks to arrive after order placement

According to Wayfair, 80% of standard delivery orders reach customers within 6 business days or less—so you likely won‘t be waiting too long regardless of the product(s) you choose.

The Best of Online and Offline Shopping Worlds

With a proven e-commerce model and exciting expansion into physical retail, Wayfair aims to offer customers the best of both worlds in 2024 and beyond. Shoppers can browse seamlessly through Wayfair.com or visit the upcoming stores for a curated, interactive experience.

The launch of two large-scale locations cement‘s Wayfair‘s intentions to be more than just an online play going forward. As they continue growing both channels in tandem, customers can expect even more convenient access to the top brands and latest trends to furnish their home.
