I'm a big fan of lululemon. Simply put, lululemon clothes are extremely comfortable, high quality,…read morepractical, functional, and look great. When it comes to casual and athletic wear, there's not much more you can ask for.
This is lululemon store #13014. It's located at The Streets at Southpoint mall in Durham. lululemon is located on the west side of the mall and has an outdoor storefront.
lululemon recently moved to a new suite at The Streets at Southpoint, suite 835. It's where the Apple Store used to be. lululemon opened in this new, larger space on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. I visited lululemon's old space at Southpoint (suite 935) not long before they moved. This new space is a huge upgrade. It got cramped in the old space. That's not the case anymore. There's actually room to breathe. And it's beautiful.
The best place to park for this lululemon store is on the north side of the mall. If you can see the lululemon sign from the parking lot, you're in the right place.
On our first visit to this new location within Southpoint, both my wife and I picked up a few items we've been needing, especially me. My old Puma athletic shorts have been worn out for a while so I picked up a pair of lululemon Pace Breaker Short 7" LL (liner-less) in Black ($68). My wife got an Open Tie-Back Short Sleeve shirt in Spiced Chai (regularly $68, but marked down to a final sale price of $49) and an Energy Bra sports bra in Black ($52). We got a 25% Healthcare Workers discount which lululemon has been offering throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you, lululemon.
Like the other pieces of lululemon clothing we own, we love our latest purchases. The Pace Breaker shorts fit me perfectly. That's one thing I love about lululemon. I'm a small guy. lululemon clothes fit me perfectly off the rack. Clothes from other brands, even sportswear (e.g. Under Armour), I sometimes have to get altered by a tailor. The Pace Breaker has multiple side pockets, which I prefer, and it has a nifty extra low-profile zip-up pocket too, similar to my other lululemon shorts. They're lightweight, stretchy, and super breathable. I also like lululemon because their stores keep in-stock small sizes that my wife and I wear: small for me and numeric size 4 for my wife. No ordering for us. What we wanted was actually in the store.
Maya was the sales associate who helped me. She was fantastic. She could already tell what my style was and what would look good on me. She helped me shop for the right pair of athletic shorts and answered all the questions that I had. She was really friendly. She almost felt like my personal shopper and stylist. I like how the staff writes everyone's name with a dry-erase marker outside their dressing room. Brittany, a PhD student, checked us out. She was also very kind. Based on our interactions with Maya and Brittany, I give this Durham store an A+ in terms of customer service.
In the Triangle, aside from this store, there's another permanent lululemon store in Raleigh at the North Hills development and as well as a temporary pop-up store, also in Raleigh, at Crabtree Valley Mall.
