In late spring, Northampton, MA based Fly By Night Furniture plans to open a full-service furniture retail location on Nason Street in Maynard. The former Paper Store Building will become a two level, 12,000 square foot showroom featuring quality home furnishings designed and scaled specifically for New England homes.

Fly By Night founder Richard Zafft chose Maynard for its historic downtown. His goal is to replicate the success they have had with their downtown location in Northampton. Over the past 35 years, Fly By Night has grown from a “van and a vending permit” to a 24,000 square foot retail location supported by a 20,000 square foot warehouse from which they serve central and western Massachusetts.

Fly By Night specializes in US and European made upholstery, sleepers, and natural mattresses. They also design and build their own solid cherry furniture.

According to Zafft, “Historic downtowns have an ambience you don’t get at a mall or strip-mall.  Downtown Maynard is hot. It has all the great little restaurants, cannabis dispensaries and its own beer brewery. These are great incentives for our furniture shoppers.”
