Lululemon

Best store evar. I praise Lulu every time I see a young hotty in tight butted lululemon pants!!!!! HAIL TO THE LULU>
 
If you're referring to the upcoming IPO, analysts say it'll be overpriced at $15-$20/share. If you're referring to the clothes, love em, I do yoga 4x/week and swear by the shorts that I use, and also love the clothes on the girls.
 
Lululemon has done women's asses what steroids did for Barry Bonds home run power.

I love a nice juicy bum in Lulu.

I was shocked by the value of the IPO, if I recall correctly, which I probably don't, it was over $1M per store, not big stores. It doesn't seem like that hard a concept to copy.

closer to $20 million per store at the high end of the IPO price, all lease, they don't own the real estate. they expect to open 50 or so more stores in 07 and 08 bringing the average down.
 
I don't think you need special clothes to do yoga. I don't think when yoga exercises were originally created that the idea was "....and then we'll start a chain of clothing stores...."
 
TNA pants are sold at Aritzia clothing store's, which is another trendy shop that is extremely popular with the teen to mid twenty female crowd. Kind of over price clothing store, but the quality and style is not bad.
One also has to be extremely slender to fit into this type of clothing, because it is usually tight fitting clothes.
 
I agree that the clothes look great on the ladies!!

stock overvalued me thinks. The wealthy yoga-moms wont like their brand being too popular and sold to the masses pretty soon and then the market will dip for them, forcing them to lower their prices and lose their original clientele. KNock offs will finish the rest.
 
The stock went up 60% after the IPO, for a market cap of about $1.3 billion. With 60 stores, each store is worth $20 Million! That is assuming that the value is in the stores, not the brand, the system, etc. It does not make sense to value it based on stores, but it gives a sense of the scale of the valuation. Their annual sales are $150 million, so it is valued at 9 times sales, that is high-growth expected.
 
Almost the only stock that went up on that day after IPO. Great brand building with virtually no intense marketing, customer base ranges from little teenage girls to North Toronto Moms (yuck).
Management seems to be careful with expansion, clothes have a "green" factor.
So like them or not, they're probably here to stay for a while.
 
I love lululemon, their pants and tops fit and feel so good, look sexy and sporty. I've got some things from their first Vancouver store for years now, wear and wash them often and they still look good and fashionable. Quality of the material is exceptional or else it wouldn't wear so well for so long. My daughter will spend her whole paycheque in that store without blinking an eye.
