NEW YORK — Raymour & Flanigan has signed a lease for its first store on Manhattan's Upper West Side, according to a report by real estate news site GlobeSt.com.

The Liverpool, N.Y.-based retailer will take 30,000 square feet on two levels at 1961 Broadway, a space formerly occupied by Circuit City, which shut down earlier this year.

With the Broadway showroom, Raymour will have nine New York-area stores, including three in Manhattan, the report said.
