Windsor shoppers will have another name-brand store to visit in Devonshire Mall this holiday season — the popular athletic and casual clothing company Lululemon.

Consumers say they are looking forward to having a store in Windsor because it becomes easier than waiting for their online order to arrive or going out of town to shop. The company was founded in Vancouver by Chip Wilson in 1998. Lululemon has grown into a popular brand with over 200 stores in the U.S and nearly 50 in Canada.

Payton Hall, Grade 12 student at Essex District High School, says she became interested in Lululemon when her competitive jump rope team, the Essex Energizers, began ordering workout clothes online. Since then she said she has become a fan of the brand, enjoying the quality clothing and its versatility. Hall said she is excited about the new store, however she would like to have it in the mall permanently.

“I cannot wait. I wish it was staying in Windsor for more than two months,” said Hall.

Devonshire Mall’s marketing director Karen Niforos says they have been trying to add Lululemon to the mall for years because customers have been asking for it. The pop-up store will be closing at the end of January but Niforos is hopeful the brand will return. The store is expected to be busy during the holiday season and Niforos said there has been lots of positive feedback in anticipation of the grand opening Nov. 4.

Niforos said the store is looking great. “It’s inviting, the staff is knowledgeable… we believe customers will be happy with their experience.”
In addition, the store will be offering free yoga classes Sunday mornings.

“I think it’s about time we get a Lululemon here,” said Hall.
