Wayfair, an early e-commerce disruptor, wants to focus more on physical retail and has decided to exit the German market and cut 730 jobs as a result.

Wayfair stock fell Friday morning after the online furniture seller said it was shutting down its business in Germany and cutting a little over 700 jobs in a bid to focus on more profitable growth areas.

Online furniture retailer Wayfair said on Friday it would lay off 730 employees as it exits the German market to focus on investments in core businesses.

The retailer plans to reinvest the savings from the move into expanding its physical footprint, growing its loyalty program and other initiatives.

Wayfair is exiting Germany, where it has operated for 15 years, after failing to turn the company “into a household brand” in the market.

Budget-furniture seller Wayfair (W) is shifting its focus toward physical retail stores and North American markets as it cuts over 700 jobs and exits Germany.

Wayfair, the prominent U.S.-based e-commerce company specializing in home goods, has announced plans to reduce its global workforce by approximately 3%, affecting hundreds of employees. This decision comes amid ongoing challenges in the retail sector and the company’s strategic exit from the German market.
