Why This Matters
Wayfair's announcement of a new store in Yonkers signals a deepening commitment to physical retail as part of its omnichannel strategy. By replicating the success of its Wilmette location—where it welcomed over 720,000 visitors and saw significant growth—Wayfair aims to tap into the New York metro market with a substantial 114,000 sq. ft. store. This expansion not only brings job creation and economic stimulation to the region but also reaffirms the evolving role of brick-and-mortar in digital-native brands' strategies.
