lululemon athletica

I visit this amazing store about 3 times a month… I am a fitness professional and my job calls for great workout wear… I wear workout performance wear about 80 percent of the time… Along with this store I visit numerous other Lulu’s as well in the course of my travels in different states and Garden State Plaza NJ Lulu is the best! I love the staff at Garden State they are so Very helpful and accommodating… They greet you, smile and try to ensure all of your needs are met… actually they are so fab I am thinking of calling corporate to let them know exactly what a beautiful job Garden State does with their customer base… It’s a pleasure to shop with them and I actually look forward to walking in and seeing what’s new and exciting there…

They just relocated and did a remodel which is pretty nice, especially the exterior. The staff is helpful and nice but at the same time a bit lazy if that makes any sense? Girls in their 20’s who act like they are helping but just go back to gossiping. But if you chase them once or twice they will eventually help out.
The thing that upsets me most about this store is the lack of options! For a store in one of the highest grossing malls in America you would think they would have better selection, more stock/​sizes and a bigger store. It’s practically the same size as the old location. I actually enjoyed the other store better.
Now, I am not sure if it’s Lululemon as a whole or just this location that is doing poorly. Lululemon as a brand has been failing a bit lately so I can’t pinpoint who is as fault here.
I much prefer Zella (very similar to Lululemon) sold at Nordstrom just down the hallway.

Hot! Hot! Hot! Wow, this place was sweltering on Saturday. The heat was jacked up and explained why all the employees at this Lululemon were scantily dressed. Might that explain their overall sour attitudes? Except for one guy who greeted my sister and me and told us that items on sale were an additional $ 10 off, everyone else was so haughty and hostile.
As usual, many final sale items were placed alongside regular priced merchandise. One good thing about this place was a couple of racks full of sale items with all sizes and different items. I was able to snag a boom juice fluffed up pullover for $ 69.
The dressing rooms were in the back and the area seemed pack. Lots of people were in the store this past Saturday although it was hard to tell whether they were working or shopping.
The Lululemon bag I got to take home my pullover had a small hole in it.

I have recently discovered Lululemon on a more personal level, as I’ve often walked past it, but never had taken much interest until after having my son and getting my butt back into the gym. I have found motivation in new cute workout gear, and I am now a huge fan of this store, in particular the jackets. I came in today as I have a few times before, and it’s always the same experience. I go in, I am never greeted. Sometimes, like today, someone looks over at me as I pass, but never say anything to me. I look through the jackets and the bras, and I even got pretty close to a sales girl with some cool mesh leggings, but she avoided my glance and kept walking. I don’t know why. I get it, I’m not a white girl, but I think I deserve at least a «hi welcome» or a «are you finding everything ok?» Or whatever they say here. I tried on two different jackets and walked to the mirror, and I found it bizarre none approached me or helped me find a size or style. I did witness a sales girl talking and helping a couple up front, and she seemed to be checking up on them, so I know customer service exists to some degree.
I had seen some cool sports bras on sale, but I wasn’t sure my size and since I already felt kind of awkward, I decided not to go looking for anyone to help me. The atmosphere just seems so pretentious, and unwelcoming, but luckily the clothes are awesome!
When I decided on a jacket, I went to pay. The same girl who passed me by a thousand times checked me out. She never asked if I found everything ok, nor did she try to up sell me etc, as I noticed the other two girls were Doing with their customers. Just an uncomfortable, unwelcoming experience.
I will just continue to shop online.

Not all Lulus have sales racks (Grant St location in Sf cough), but this one has plenty! They pack tons of expensive spandex into their tiny little shop.
The girl who helped me was very nice and I don’t look like a typical Lulu shopper. If you think you won’t fit into Lulu, never fear. Their sizes are actually super generous.
Are there cheaper work out clothes? Yep. Are there less cheesy marketing campaigns («children are the orgasm of life?» really?)? Absolutely. But their clothes are super flattering, even to the non workout obsessed. And that’s really what matters the most to me.

WOOHOO! As good as it gets! = solely because it’s TAX FREE
The store itself is moderately sized, not the biggest lulu I’ve been in but certainly not the smallest one. The selection seemed decent. Though the layout of the store is a little awkward. I missed the entire front section because I thought it was all men’s stuff. They had long sleeves and coats near the register. Oh well, lucky for my bank account I missed that section.
The staff there was nice and like all the lululemons gave honest helpful advice on the stuff I tried on.

I love lululemon wear, especially the pants and tanktops. They’re pricey but I wear them so often that I find the prices reasonable.
I am a facebook fan of the Garden State Plaza Lululemon and I read their latest post to come in and check out the new styles. I went in yesterday and walked toward the back where the pants are. There was a saleswoman with dark hair, lots of piercings and a hairclip folding clothes. I innocently asked her where the new «styles» were and she ignored me. I continued on that I had read on their site that they just got in some new styles. She turned around and goes, You mean prints? and just stared at me with an annoyed look. I said, sure, and she pointed at one and goes thats a new black one, and returned to her folding. another guy came out and said to the sales woman, «aren’t you going to tell her about the new so and so…» and she simply ignored her coworker, and continued to ignore me. I get it, you’re pissed off that you have to work in a New Jersey Mall all day, but Seriously, if I had to work at any store in the mall I’d choose lululemon due to the benfits like free yoga classes and a discount on my favorite clothing. It just isn’t fair that she was rude to me, put me in a horrible mood, and now I don’t want to buy lululemon clothes anymore.
It seems that Lululemon has this monopoly because they are the only yoga clothes that look and feel great.
WELL, I’ve found that patagonia yoga pants are just as great, as are ZELLA pants that are sold at nordstrom!
