BOSTON — Wayfair Inc. has scheduled its first large-format store in Florida, to open in late 2027.
To be located at Galleria Fort Lauderdale, the new location will span approximately 94,000 square feet across two levels, and it is one of four new Wayfair stores planned for next year.
“As we continue to grow our retail footprint, entering Florida with a namesake store is an exciting next step for Wayfair,” said Liza Lefkowski, vice president of merchandising and stores at Wayfair. “Galleria Fort Lauderdale‘s transformation creates an ideal setting for us to introduce our in-store experience to a new community of customers.”

Galleria Fort Lauderdale, long a cornerstone of South Florida’s retail landscape and now under new ownership, is strategically planning a significant redevelopment aimed at reestablishing it as a mixed-use destination with an updated mix of retail, dining and lifestyle offerings.
Wayfair’s Fort Lauderdale location, which will be situated at the end of the mall, will offer customers the retailer’s assortment across key home categories, including furniture, décor, housewares, appliances and more. Shoppers will also have access to Wayfair Verified products curated by the company’s experts, as well as dedicated design services to support projects of all sizes.
Like its stores in the Chicago area and Atlanta, Wayfair’s Fort Lauderdale location will reflect the local community, with assortments tailored to the South Florida customer and lifestyle and featuring products and design inspiration that align with the region’s coastal aesthetic.
Many items will be available for immediate take-home, while larger pieces such as sofas, dining sets and outdoor furniture can be delivered fast and free through Wayfair’s logistics network.
The Fort Lauderdale location marks Wayfair’s sixth store announcement. Wilmette, Ill., and Atlanta stores are open; two are planned for this year (Columbus, Ohio, and Denver); and Westchester, N.Y., in early 2027.
