1st Wayfair Outlet In New York To Mark 1st Black Friday On Long Island

DEER PARK, NY — Online furniture giant Wayfair will mark its first "brick-and-mortar" Black Friday in New York at its first retail store in the state.

The Wayfair store opened Nov. 2 in the Tanger Outlets Deer Park. It sells returns as well as discounted items in good condition.

It's part of the company's ongoing strategy to move into the brick-and-mortar side of the retail industry.

The Deer Park store is only their third returns outlet nationwide, Corporate Communications Manager Felicia Ong told Patch. The other two are in San Marcos, Texas and Florence, Kentucky.

"Separately, in other locations we are also opening full-service physical retail stores that bring our brands and our full omnichannel experience to life," Ong said. "We are excited to be opening our first, large-format Wayfair store outside of Chicago next year that will be ~150,000-square-feet in size. More details on that are available here. We also currently have five physical retail stores open for two of our Specialty Retail Brands, AllModern and Joss & Main, in the Boston, Chicago and Austin areas."

To celebrate, the Deer Park store will offer 40 percent off everything on Black Friday.

Find it between the Regal Cinema and the Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth store.

Aficionados of the outlet mall will recognize that it's where the Christmas Tree Shop used to be, greaterlongisland.com pointed out.

It is not open on Thanksgiving.
