Lululemon Athletica leases 3,800 s/f at Destiny USA; uses retail locations to host events open to the public

Syracuse, NY The popular yoga-inspired clothing retailer lululemon Athletica opened at Destiny USA on the biggest shopping day of the year: Black Friday. Known for its signature styles and high quality materials, the Vancouver, Canada-based company produces technical apparel for yoga, running, dancing, and other athletic activities. lululemon has a strong focus on community participation and uses its retail locations to host events open to the public, ranging from inspirational workshops to yoga classes. The activewear chain opened a showroom in downtown Syracuse’s Armory Square in 2013, which offers a small selection of the company’s merchandise and is open limited hours. That showroom closed on November 7 when lululemon’s 3,800 s/f full retail location at Destiny USA opened. Rob Schoeneck, Destiny USA’s general manager, is pleased to welcome lululemon to the center’s shopping lineup. “lululemon is a highly touted brand that is only growing in popularity,” said Schoeneck. “So we’re excited that they chose to open a full location here at Destiny USA. We think both area natives and tourists coming to the area to shop will enjoy being able to choose from an expanded selection of their products.” Guests will be able to find lululemon on Destiny USA’s 2nd floor next to Banana Republic.
