Wayfair Inc. announced it will open its first large-format store in Florida at Galleria Fort Lauderdale, as part of the center’s comprehensive redevelopment. Scheduled to open in late 2027, the new location will span approximately 94,000 square feet across two levels. 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 vibrant, mixed use destination with an updated mix of retail, dining and lifestyle offerings.
Wayfair’s presence will play a key role in this transformation, helping to welcome the community back and bring new energy to one of South Florida’s most well-known shopping destinations. The Fort Lauderdale location, which will be situated at the end of the mall, will offer customers Wayfair’s extensive 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 ?
from simple updates to full home transformations. 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. The store will feature products and design inspiration that align with the region’s coastal aesthetic, indoor-outdoor living and year-round entertaining.
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. With its strong population growth, vibrant coastal lifestyle and status as a major retail and tourism hub, Fort Lauderdale represents an ideal market for Wayfair’s continued expansion into high-impact regions across the U.S. This marks Wayfair’s sixth store announcement ? Wilmette, IL and Atlanta, GA are open, with Columbus, OH and Denver, CO opening this year, and Westchester, NY in early 2027.
