Great news!! It's official lululemon is opening a second Charlotte, NC location. Drum roll.........in Birkdale Village in Huntersville! So for my fellow LKN lulu fans we can now save some gas money and get our lulu fix close to home! It will open sometime in July. Grand opening day to be determined. The store will be on the same side of the shopping plaza as Starbucks ....very close to Banana Republic. It will be a complete store, not a showroom and it won't be associated with a studio as some had heard. The lululemon team is now doing their research on the LKN culuture to make sure they understand our unique needs at the lake when it comes to yoga, running fitness in general, Stand Up Paddleboarding and other water sports. More details to come in upcoming months but this is definitely exciting news and to answer the question that a few of my friends are asking right now "Yes, I am jumping up and down flapping my arms"!!!!

I wonder what the actual store will look like?  I've seen some of the outdoor mall locations around the country and they are very cool....like the ones below in Newport Beach.......Whistler.....Vancouver and Montreal

lululemon is known for building community partnerships with active groups in the community. So if you are the owner or associated with a fitness studio, running club, etc. get to know the team at the lululemon Southpark Mall since you might have some synergies with them.

GUESS WHAT!! lululemon released photos of their new swim/surf (and I’ll add paddleboard) collection for 2013!! They said the inspiration for this collection came from athletes involved in beach volleyball, stand up paddle boarding and beach yoga. It is so exciting to see lululemon designing specifically for Stand Up Paddleboarders!!

About the swim fabric
· it’s soft, soft, soft
· it’s lightweight, breathable and four-way stretch
· it has a UPF rating of 50+ (it’s basically like a bodyguard for your skin)
· it has incredible shape retention
· it’s sand resistant (the tight weave of the fabric keeps sand out)
· it's chlorine resistant

This line will be in stores next week!
