Wayfair has confirmed plans to open a new large-format store at 1261 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Amherst, New York 14226. The approximately 96,000-square-foot store is expected to open in 2028 and will be the company’s 12th store.
The location will bring Wayfair’s in-person shopping experience to customers across Western New York. Customers will be able to explore a curated selection of Wayfair Verified products, get help from on-site design experts and take home many items the same day. Larger purchases will be supported by Wayfair’s logistics network.
“The addition of Wayfair marks the exciting first step in the transformation of the former Boulevard Mall,” said Eric Recoon, vice president of development and leasing for Benderson Development. “As a leading global brand with a unique retail concept, this is a great addition to Amherst and the greater Buffalo market. Our vision is to create a vibrant, open-air destination that brings new retail, dining, entertainment and other experiences to the community, and we’re looking forward to beginning this next chapter with Wayfair.”
Located along Niagara Falls Boulevard, the store is accessible from I-290, Niagara Falls Boulevard and Sheridan Drive.
