Wayfair says the store will open at 10 a.m. A grand-opening weekend celebration is planned for April 17-19.

The store will give away $50 gift cards for the first 100 customers every day that weekend.

This will be Wayfair’s second brick-and-mortar store in the country. The company says it aims to offer customers the same “seamless shopping experience” that they get online.
