lululemon officially coming to Brandon
3/11/2010 at 7:21 PM
Many may have read a few rumours on eBrandon in the past that popular athletic wear company lululemon was considering making their product available in Brandon. At the time I took a look at their franchise page, saw Kelowna as their smallest market (unless you consider Whistler and Banff) and was pretty skeptical. As it turns out, where there's smoke there's fire...
Just confirmed this evening, lululemon Athletica have come to an agreement with Frederickson Performance Centre whereby the front section inside of of FPC (before you get into the actual gym portion) will be expanded and converted into a local Lululemon store.. operating in conjunction with what is arguably Brandon's most advanced gym/fitness centre.
It will be a slightly different setup from what you see at a place like their Winnipeg location. There will be no actual signage, and it will be run in conjunction with the gym. They will be carrying lululemon's best selling lines and will of course have access to everything else that they sell.
Frederickson will be required to conduct renovations, and they are at this point targetting May as when they'll be ready to go.
I'll be honest that I've only been in one of their stores once, but their clothing seems to have quite the following that swear by it's quality...
I will share more as more is available between now and May.
