Arlington and high-end yoga pants are a match of market and product that’s right up there with 17th century Dutchmen and tulips.
Thus it’s only appropriate that the foremost purveyor of the former would open a second Arlington location.
Lululemon is planning to open later this spring in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, on the first floor next to Levi’s, the mall announced this morning. It’s a return to the neighborhood for Canadian retailer of technical athletic apparel, which previously operated a seasonal store in the mall.
Lululemon has an existing location in Clarendon, which was renovated just over five years ago.
Other openings are planned at the Pentagon City mall. Independent eyeglasses retailer Warby Parker is holding a grand opening for its new mall location on Saturday, April 20. The store will feature the work of a local artist.
Also coming this spring and summer are Spanish fast-fashion retailer Mango, the self-explanatory Perfume World, and fried chicken mainstay Popeyes.
A press release about the openings is below.
