Company Overview

lululemon athletica Inc., headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, is a designer, distributor and retailer of technical athletic apparel.

In addition to apparel, lululemon markets performance footwear, gym bags, mats and water bottles, as well as skincare and wellness products under its self-care initiatives. Many of these products are developed in close collaboration with athletes and through proprietary product-testing programs.

The retailer maintains a global footprint, serving major markets across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Australia, with additional expansion into the Middle East and Latin America. The omnichannel model integrates physical and digital experiences, offering in-store events, fitness workshops and community engagement programs to strengthen brand loyalty and customer connectivity.

Since its founding, lululemon has pursued a community-centered growth strategy, leveraging local ambassadors and in-store studio partnerships. In August 2018, Calvin McDonald was appointed Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Laurent Potdevin, and has since overseen efforts to diversify product offerings and expand international operations. Under McDonald’s leadership, the company continues to refine its supply chain, enhance sustainability initiatives and explore new segments such as digital fitness and men’s performance wear.
