Boston — Wayfair Inc., the destination for all things home, plans to open its next large-format retail store in Yonkers, N.Y., in early 2027. The news comes as the company celebrates the 1-year anniversary of its inaugural large-format store in Wilmette, Ill. — a milestone that underscores Wayfair’s growing success in physical retail and its evolving omnichannel strategy.
The Yonkers announcement follows the previously revealed plans for Wayfair’s Atlanta store, slated to open in 2026.
“Over the past year, we’ve seen firsthand how a thoughtfully designed physical store can deepen engagement, drive growth and introduce the Wayfair brand to entirely new audiences,” says Liza Lefkowski, vice president of merchandising and stores at Wayfair. “The upcoming Yonkers store builds on that momentum — bringing our immersive retail experience to the New York metro area and delivering the same inspiration, convenience and flexibility our customers have come to expect.”
The Yonkers store will span approximately 114,000 square feet and feature 19 departments showcasing furniture, décor, outdoor living, home improvement and more — all organized by style and to help customers easily navigate the store. The store will also feature a large assortment of Wayfair Verified items, so shoppers can feel confident they’re seeing some of the most trusted products, carefully reviewed by Wayfair for quality and value.
“New York is one of the most design-forward markets in the world, and Yonkers gives us the space to bring our retail vision to life,” says Lefkowski. “This location lets us serve everyone from Manhattan to Westchester and beyond with an inspiring, full-scale shopping experience that Wayfair is known for.”
The store will be located within Ridge Hill, a modern open-air lifestyle center in Westchester County, offering a vibrant, community-oriented environment. In addition to a large selection of items that are available to take home that day, its proximity to Wayfair’s New Jersey fulfillment center enables fast delivery of large items, enhancing the convenience of the in-store experience.
Ridge Hill is owned by Jamestown, Nuveen Real Estate and Taconic Partners through a joint venture partnership. Jamestown represented the property in the lease transaction.
