Wayfair is set to bring its signature large-format shopping experience to Atlanta with the grand opening of its second physical store location later this month.

The online home furnishings giant announced today that the new Wayfair store at The District at Howell Mill (1801 Howell Mill Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318) will officially open its doors on March 31, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET. A full weekend of grand opening celebrations will follow from April 17–19, 2026, promising special events, giveaways, and family-friendly entertainment to welcome local shoppers.

Spanning approximately 150,000 square feet, the Atlanta store will serve as a comprehensive one-stop destination for home goods. Shoppers can browse an extensive selection of furniture, home décor, outdoor living products, housewares, appliances, and home improvement essentials—covering every style and budget.

Highlights include The Porch, Wayfair’s popular all-day café, along with features like the Dream Center mattress shop and on-site design services, similar to the retailer’s first large-format location in Wilmette, Illinois, which opened in 2024.

Regular store hours will be Monday–Saturday from 10 a.m.–8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m.–7 p.m.

During the grand opening weekend (April 17–19), the first 100 customers each day will receive a $50 Wayfair gift card, with additional activities and surprises planned—more details to be shared closer to the event.

The Upper Westside location at The District at Howell Mill, a well-established shopping center, was first revealed last year as part of Wayfair’s ongoing push into brick-and-mortar retail. The move brings the company’s immersive, hands-on shopping format directly to Atlanta residents after years of dominance in e-commerce.

Local shoppers eager to see (and sit on) Wayfair’s vast inventory in person won’t have to wait much longer.

Mark your calendars for March 31, and plan to join the festivities in mid-April for what promises to be a major home-shopping event in the city.
