On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa’s 10 years’ of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.

Athletic apparel brand lululemon will be relocating and upsizing its flagship store within The Yards, Covent Garden

Taking a new corner unit on Long Acre, the new 8,364 sq ft store will mark an 130% upsize. 

Set to open later this summer, the flagship West End store will showcase lululemon’s range of activewear products for activities including yoga, running and training and more, across its womenswear, menswear, footwear and accessories lines. 

Lululemon’s upsized store will join The Yards’ line up of sportswear brands, including Pineapple, Snow+Rock and Runners Need, alongside premium fashion brands on Long Acre, including Levi’s and Reiss. Covent Garden is also home to Canadian high performance outdoor apparel and accessories brand, Arc’teryx, and HOKA’s first ever retail location in Europe. 

On behalf of Longmartin Properties Ltd, Abi Labbett, asset manager at CBRE, said: “Securing the relocation and significant upsize of lululemon is a key moment for us and reaffirms The Yards as the destination of choice for leading international brands and debut concepts alike. 

“We’re proud to be experiencing sustained demand and continued investment from the very best names, ones which share our community values, and we look forward to witnessing lululemon’s continued success at The Yards, Covent Garden.”
