Upscale yoga apparel retailer Lululemon Athletica plans to open a store at Warehouse Row by year’s end, becoming the third national company to move into the downtown Chattanooga center.
Lululemon will set up shop in 2,700 square feet that fronts Market Street and is adjacent to Anthropologie in the Row’s North Building.
Kim White, who heads the nonprofit downtown redevelopment group River City Co., said Lululemon is coming at the right time as the central city attracts hundreds of new apartment units.
“It’s a good fit,” she said. “We don’t have anything like that.”
George Krauth, vice president and creative director of Warehouse Row owner Jamestown, said officials are pleased to see retailers like Lululemon investing in Chattanooga and recognizing the area’s potential.
