Did You Know Wayfair Has Physical Stores?

Personally, I only knew Wayfair as an online retailer. All of the commercials starring Kelly Clarkson and other celebrities never mentioned a physical storefront to visit, right?

Or am I missing something?

Turns out back in May of 2024, Wayfair announced the opening of their first ever " large-format Wayfair store."

According to a Wayfair press release from last year the store was opened in Edens Plaza in Wilmette, Illinois and was about 150,000 square feet. They call it "a one stop shop for all things home - including furniture, home décor, housewares and home improvement products, for any style space or budget."

Also included in The Wayfair store, at least the one in Illinois, an onsite restaurant called The Porch.
