Won't be till next..

It is out of stock, it won't be till next Friday that the stock is available.

Hi, the bolded 'will' doesn't seem to be the usual simple future 'will'. Is this 'will' an atypical one? Thanks.

Won't is a contraction (short form) of 'will not'. It is negative sentence in the simple future tense where 'will' is the auxiliary verb and 'be' is the main verb.

Hi,
There is a comma splice error in your sentence. You can't have two independent clauses joined together that way.
Actually, these two sentences would read better if they were written thus:
It is out of stock. It *won't be available until next Friday.

*won't = will not. This is a negative form of the simple future tense.
