Online retail giant Wayfair  is bringing a new distribution center and more than 250 new jobs to Harford County in Maryland.

The company is planning an approximately 1.2 million square-foot facility at MRP Industrial's Eastgate Logistics Park in Aberdeen, which will allow it to reach one-third of the U.S. population overnight.

Wayfair allows shoppers to quickly and easily find exactly what they want from a selection of more than 22 million items such as home furnishings, decor, home improvement, and housewares. Committed to delighting its customers every step of the way, Wayfair is reinventing the way people shop for their homes—from product discovery to final delivery. In addition to wayfair.com, the company also operates the retail sites Joss & Main, AllModern, Birch Lane, and Perigold.

“We are looking forward to welcoming this successful e-commerce company to our state as Maryland continues to flourish as the Mid-Atlantic distribution hub,” said Governor Larry Hogan.

“As we continue to expand our world class logistics network, our new Maryland fulfillment center in Harford County will further strengthen our ability to serve our rapidly growing customer base,” said Thomas Netzer, chief operating officer of Wayfair. “We look forward to welcoming the area’s top talent to join our award-winning operations team as we bring more than 250 new jobs to the community.”
