Lululemon Athletica

It can and is often the case that with chain stores, of any nature, you lose identity. The brand name just becomes the same old same old store and you get a bog standard experience, whether you like it or not, that you come to expect.
Well Lululemon is different!
Much different in fact, because although you are still shopping with a vastly successful Canadian athletic apparel company, you gain a sense of connection to the place. They do an unbeatable job of community engagement and offer loads of free activities and educational classes for people, not bad from a shop that sells Yoga pants.
They do have a fantastic range of athletic wear and it is by far the best quality products I have ever worn. I’ve had a pair of their shorts for 3 years and they look and feel brand new.
What I love most about this place though is the social vibe the staff exert. Whether you’re going in looking to spend £1000 on leggings or just fancy a chat with a friendly face, they are welcoming and will invite you back for a coffee and a natter whilst you are amazed by the excellent products on offer!
