The Great Lululemon Census: How Many Yogis Can California Handle?
Ever dreamt of a world paved with Aligns and Wunder Unders? Well, California might just be the closest you'll get. This state, famous for sunshine, surf, and (let's be honest) a certain fondness for avocado toast, is also a breeding ground for Lululemon lovers. But just how many Lululemon stores are nestled amongst the palm trees and Hollywood dreams?
We're about to embark on a journey of downward facing clicks and stretchy statistics, so grab your favorite mat (and maybe your credit card) because things are about to get sweaty.
California: The Lululemon Promised Land?
According to the latest intel (circa April 2024, because fashion trends move faster than a vinyasa flow these days), California boasts a whopping 67 Lululemon stores. That's right, folks - that's more Lululemon than some entire countries have Starbucks locations!
Do the math: With an estimated population of 39.5 million, that means there's roughly one Lululemon store for every 590,000 Californians. Now, we're not mathematicians (clearly, because who can resist a cute Scuba backpack?), but that seems like a pretty high concentration of athleisure heaven.
Is California secretly sponsored by Lululemon? Is there Lululemon water flowing freely from the Golden Gate Bridge? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing's for sure: Californians clearly love their Lululemon.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is with Lululemon)
Now, before you pack your bags and head west solely for the Lululemon density (we wouldn't blame you), here are a few additional factors to consider:
- Not all Lululemons are created equal: Some stores might be larger and have a wider selection, while others might be smaller and more focused on specific activities (like running or yoga).
- The struggle is real: Just because there are a lot of stores doesn't mean the coveted new Wunder Trains won't disappear faster than a free yoga class at sunset.
- There's a whole world beyond Lululemon: California has some pretty epic hiking trails, stunning beaches, and, you know, other awesome athleisure brands. Just sayin'.
So, the answer to our burning question? California has a ton of Lululemon stores, making it a haven for yogis, gym rats, and anyone who appreciates a good pair of leggings. But remember, there's more to life (and California) than Lululemon (although it certainly comes close).
