BOSTON — Online home furnishings retailer Wayfair is reportedly opening a physical store in King of Prussia, Pa., according to a report from PhillyVoice.com.
The Boston-based retailer is reported to be taking over a former JCPenney location that was vacated in 2017. Wayfair will set up shop in some 100,000 square feet of retail space, plus a café with indoor and outdoor seating and a rooftop deck with a bar. The news was broken on Facebook by Greg Waks, an elected official in Upper Merion, Pa.
Wayfair recently opened an AllModern store near its hometown of Boston in Lynnefield, Mass., one of a few of its brick-and-mortar presences as it implements a strategy to harmonize online and offline retail.
Wayfair declined comment for this story.
