In what city is Lululemon's headquarters located?

Lululemon's headquarters is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The location reflects the company's origins: founder Chip Wilson established Lululemon in Vancouver in 1998 after working in the surf, skate and snowboard-apparel business. The city's active-lifestyle culture and proximity to outdoor recreation became part of the brand's identity as it developed from a yoga-focused retailer into a global athletic-apparel company.

Lululemon is often described as a Canadian company even though Lululemon Athletica Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and trades on major North American exchanges. Those corporate details can cause confusion, but they do not change the headquarters answer: the company's headquarters city is Vancouver.

The headquarters also houses Whitespace, Lululemon's research and development laboratory. The company has expanded far beyond its original Vancouver base, with stores and online sales across North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. Seattle, New York and Toronto are important commercial cities, but none is the company's headquarters city.
