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.

We've always hand washed and air dried this, so it's not due to misuse or harsh dishwasher heat. I emailed customer service for a replacement under their "quality service guarantee" and they claim it works just fine as a cup so there's no replacement. There is no reason the color should be peeling after 3 months and it's basically unable to be used due to shedding of color/lining. All customer service responses take 10 days to receive, so nothing gets resolved. Horrible customer service and crappy guarantee!

That's why it kills me to say I am Very disappointed in Lululemon's quality these days. The leggings I recently purchased, the fabric which they describe as being super soft, are soft but they are also way too thin, stretchy, baggy, and the pockets are already stretching out - 3 wks in. Unfortunately, it's too late to return them. The current version of the relaxed swift long sleeve shirts is very disappointing as well. I've been a big fan of the relaxed version since it came out but the quality of the most recent version - from the fabric to the fit - is pretty awful as well. It's clear while prices in some cases remain the same but in most have increased, the quality has taken a nosedive.

When I asked for a manager (who eventually did the return for store credit), her attitude wasn't any better. They couldn't care about customer service and both had snarky attitudes for asking them to follow their policy. The other store associated who helped me with my hemming order was fine but disappointing to see the attitude of management in this store. I'll stick on online shopping from now on.

The variety of restaurants, shops, and events really makes it feel like its own little community...you can easily spend hours here without realizing it. The layout is walkable, modern, and clean, and there's always something happening, whether it's live music, families gathering, or people just out enjoying the space. The only thing I'd love to see is a more consistent police presence, not in a way that feels overbearing, but more low-key and observant. There are times when people drive through the area revving their motorcycles or blasting music so loud that it ruins the calm, relaxed vibe. It's such a great place for families, couples, and visitors, and keeping it peaceful and safe would make it even better. Fenton really has all the makings of a perfect hangout spot in Cary. A little more attention to keeping the noise level under control would make it a 10 out of 10 experience every single time.

Fenton offers fine dining, high end retail and entertainment. I've visited previously for retail shopping, dining, cocktails, and events. I've enjoyed dining at Superica Tex Mex, Dram & Drought cocktail bar, Sports & Social, Ava Rooftop, PBR Cowboy Bar, Paragon Movie Theater, The Agency Bar, and shopping at Arula, Altrd State, and the Nike by Cary Store. Today I attended the Walk To Defeat Dementia event. Fenton was the perfect location. It was very well organized and everyone had more than enough room to spread out. I look forward to more businesses coming to Fenton.

It's staying in business by trying new ideas and making sure that it continues to bring in customers. The size of the mall seems a lot easier to manage due to the perfect number of stores without it being too overwhelming. It's not forcing stores to go out of business because they are competing with similar stores. Seems like they have that under control. The mall is also clean, which is a plus! It seems shiny and new all the time. It can get busy here on Saturdays, especially the nighttime when the young folks like to come out and hang out. I try to avoid it during those times because it can get a little ghetto and obnoxious (can't stand teenagers). I prefer the weekdays when it's a lot quieter, where I can shop and walk in peace. Overall, great options in the food court and food options connected to the mall.

As soon as I knew I was moving to Greensboro, I looked for some of my favorite national chains and…read morefound them right here. The first place worth mentioning is REI. I usually park nearby, peruse the garage sale items, then go on a stroll around the whole shopping center. While I do like Whole Foods and will go there for certain specialty items, I tend to spend a little less at the gigantic Harris Teeter. There's a huge selection of clothing stores, you can get a legit (if pricey) massage at Hand and Stone, get your haircut, see a movie, and grab a great dinner from a wide range of restaurant options. This might be the most upscale shopping center in town.

In the 80s and 90s, the mall we went to the most in Greensboro was Four Seasons Mall (now Four…read moreSeasons Town Centre). It went downhill and beginning in the 2000s, we went to Friendly Center instead. This has been a general trend in America where people have shifted from going to traditional indoor malls to outdoor malls, some integrated with mixed-use developments and/or repurposed sites. Funny thing is Friendly Center has been around since 1957 and Four Seasons 1974. Both have changed over the years, for better or for worse. I came here multiple times with friends and family in 2008 and 2009. With my friends, we'd go to stores like REI, Great Outdoor Provision Co, and Barnes & Noble. It was around these years that I picked up a MacBook for my mom from the Apple Store. She returned several times for One to One trainings on how to use various Apple devices. Since 2018, I've been going to Friendly Center for Schiffman's Jewelers, for the most part. That's because I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band from Schiffman's and have returned for inspections and cleanings. We returned just a few weeks ago to see Frances, who just celebrated 45 years at Schiffman's. Last month, I accompanied my wife and sister to Sephora and Anthropologie. Other brands that were or still are of interest to me at Friendly Center include Brooks Brothers and lululemon. There are also a Whole Foods Market and Williams-Sonoma. Friendly Center was sort of patchworked together over the years, so the design and routing aren't ideal and getting around can be confusing. It would be nice if there were maps of the property on-site, but we didn't see any during our recent visit. Also, at the time of writing this review, the map on their website is down. "Couldn't fetch map data." https://friendlycenter.com/directory Depending on what section of Friendly Center you're in, it's sometimes better to get back in your car and drive to another store than it is to walk. This is because of the awkward, inefficient layout and lack of sidewalks. Again, not ideal. The brands are the draw. Check out Friendly Center on Facebook and Instagram at the links below.

So, Athleta has a lifetime warranty on their products, and you can return/exchange items anytime,…read morefor any reason (their words, not mine). I chatted to an Athleta customer service rep before going to Southpoint to confirm. They confirmed. The woman working here let me know that, because I wore the item more than once, it's not "really" returnable. And that the pilling on my leggings are normal "wear and tear". (I'll note: i typically love Athleta but I've had some leggings for 5+ years with zero pilling...Athleta leggings should not pill). She said returns/exchanges are up to store discretion, contrary to the global return policy. And her decision was to not accept my leggings. What made matters worse was when she picked up the phone, held it to her ear, clearly about to take another call -- all while I was talking to her. It was clear she was trying to end the conversation and rush me out. I knew this person was wrong, so I called the Athleta customer service dept on the drive home, who confirmed that this person was indeed wrong. In their words: "She should have accepted your leggings." They offered to call her directly and read her the policy, or help me resolve the issue via email. I chose the latter -- mostly because this person made me pretty uncomfortable in-store. I normally love Athleta, but this woman's attitude was pretty rough and her refusal to honor Athleta's exchange policy was just not ok. Thankfully, Athleta corporate came through.

I tried on a bunch of swimsuits and found it very hard to choose one because they all fit so well! Plenty of coverage, but still flattering shapes and vibrant colors.

Next time I need something in that department I will definitely stop by. The prices are below Lululemon and in range of Nike and New Balance. My swimsuit top was around $60 and the bottom $50.
