company actions
We believe the true lululemon headquarters is our stores, and so we refer to our offices as our Store Support Centres. These centres consist of three important groups, all based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
- Our Guest Education Centre provides product education and lululemon knowledge to our guests and the larger community.
- Our Distribution Centre is focused on supply chain efficiency and innovating new methods for maximum efficiency and minimal waste.
- Last but not least, our Store Support Centre includes the support systems of design, production, finance, IT, training, community relations, executive offices, and merchandise management. In these groups there are daily advances in material innovation, production techniques, training tools, and community education.
