What country is Lululemon headquartered in?

Lululemon is headquartered in Canada.

Its headquarters, called the Store Support Centre, is in Vancouver, British Columbia. Vancouver is also where Chip Wilson founded the company in 1998 and where its earliest retail operations developed. The city’s connection to yoga, outdoor recreation and technical apparel helped shape the brand’s identity.

The company is best described as Canadian-founded and headquartered, although it operates internationally and has a more complicated corporate structure. Lululemon Athletica Inc. is incorporated in Delaware in the United States, and its shares trade on the U.S. Nasdaq exchange. Those facts can cause people to mistake the United States for its headquarters country.

Lululemon expanded beyond Canada with a U.S. store in Santa Monica, California, in 2003, and later opened locations across the Asia-Pacific region and Europe. International operations do not change the canonical answer to this geography question: the company’s headquarters is in Vancouver, Canada.
