Store Reporter has confirmed that Lululemon will move into the Westfield Montgomery Mall this fall, most likely in the Nordstrom wing next to J. Crew. This will be the first Lululemon store to open in our area since the 2011 murder at the company’s downtown Bethesda location, where a store employee killed her co-worker. Last year Lululemon also ran into a different kind of trouble over its $100-ish yoga pants: First they were too transparent. Then they pilled too much. Then Lululemon founder Chip Wilson insinuated that women with larger thighs should just stay away. Wilson has since stepped down, and the company is working hard to bring back the love for its high-end yoga, running, tennis and beach gear.
