Lululemon Franchise Information
Lululemon Athletica is a well-known company that sells yoga-inspired athletic clothing.
It manufactures a clothing line and operates worldwide clothing stores from its main offices in Vancouver, Columbia, Canada, and British.
Lululemon Athletica, or just Lululemon, was established by Dennis Wilson in 1998. It is due to the rising female contribution to sports and the belief in yoga as the most favorable way to preserve athletic excellence into advanced age. Wilson set up the very first Lululemon store in Vancouver besides Kitsilano. Before, it had a design studio and retail store. It also shares a room with a starting yoga studio. On August 2008, Lululemon already had 40 stores throughout Canada, 38 stores and display rooms in America, and seven stores and display rooms in Australia. The company is still continuously expanding. It expects to add up stores in 60 more locations in Canada and America for the next two years.
The OQOQO brand was merged into the primary Lululemon product line during the business launch of Ivivva Athletica. It is the latest subordinate that would primarily aim at girls ages 6 to 12.
In 2005, Advent International purchased a 48 percent minority interest in Lululemon for the account of CAD 225 million, and the previous chief of Reebok became the new CEO of Lululemon. The founder of Lululemon now has 42 percent rights, including 10 percent in retail staff stocks and shares. The company also created a deal with Descente of Japan to have Lululemon operations in Japan. It focuses on North American Market. Since December 2010, Christina Day, the previous Co-President of one coffee store, is the chief executive officer of Lululemon.

Last December 2010, Lululemon proclaimed a call back of several of the store’s reusable bags distributed in February 2010. The bags recalled were made in China from a material called polypropylene. This material is used in making reusable bags that retailers are distributing. The concerns by Lululemon were because of some reports that the same bags have been assessed to have a high lead concentration.
Initially sold as yoga wear, the brand is better known by consumers as well-fitting calisthenics clothing usually worn in the gym, at home, and on airplanes.
Lululemon's primary industrial unit is in Vancouver, Canada, and British Columbia. During 2004, its fabrication increased outside Canada, and it now has industrial units in America, China, India, Indonesia, Peru, Israel, and Taiwan.
Lululemon has a policy from its principle and convinces staff and other employees to follow these principles daily. Lululemon also provides employees with free yoga classes, health assistance, and growth chance. The corporation also compensates the management staff and another employee who has worked for over a year.
