lululemon athletica, the yoga-inspired athletic apparel manufacturer, is pleased to announce the launch of its
Whistler store.

“Whistler's active spirit is what lululemon is all about,” say lululemon
franchise co-owners and business partners Tracy Silvester and Nikki Bertelli.
“Whistler attracts people who embody loving your life – they are not your typical 9-5 ers. Lululemon is a perfect fit in this passionate, lifestyle oriented town and we have a real need for top quality athletic wear here,”
states Silvester. Strong lululemon support within Whistler's yoga and athletic communities helped make our expansion north a welcome event for many
Whistlerites,” adds Bertelli.

Chip Wilson founded lululemon athletica in 1998 in Vancouver BC, Canada. The company now has 8 locations in Canada, plus its Santa Monica store in the US. Lululemon won the retail Council of Canada's “Innovative Retailer of the Year” in 2003 along with IKEA Canada and Chip Wilson was recently short listed as the “Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year” for the Western Pacific region.
