Lululemon Athletica To Open Detroit Store This Fall

DETROIT, MI — Lululemon Athletica will open a new Michigan store in downtown Detroit at 1459 Woodward Ave. this fall, according to signs at the now vacant storefront. Vancouver-based Lululemon already has a presence in Michigan, where a handful of stores include those in downtown Birmingham, the Somerset Collection in Troy and the Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi.

Lululemon, a Vancouver-based company established in 1998 and known for its high-end yoga pants,will occupy the space Kit + Ace exited earlier this spring when the company closed all of its U.S. locations. The 3,000-square-foot space is in a building owned by Dan Gilbert’s Bedrock Detroit real estate firm.
