Lululemon Opens 5,700-Square-Foot Houston Store With Grand Opening Yoga Flow

Lululemon's newest Houston outpost is already drawing a crowd before it's even officially open. Known for its high-end activewear and popular yoga pants, the new store will celebrate its official grand opening March 28, though it is already open to shoppers.

Lululemon's newest Houston store is approximately 5,700 square feet and is located inside the M-K-T Heights shopping center. The move represents a significant upgrade in footprint for the brand in the Heights neighborhood. Lululemon closed its boutique-style storefront at Heights Mercantile and relocated to the more spacious, high-traffic location at M-K-T Heights. That former spot on Heights Street, housed in a repurposed residential building, was charming and very successful, so successful that the brand felt it needed more square footage to accommodate the needs of its shoppers.

The grand opening activation is the detail that matters most to the Houston yoga community. To celebrate its debut, the store will host a guided outdoor yoga flow session at M-K-T on March 28. Admission is free, but guests must reserve their spot. It's a signature move for a brand that has always treated studio-style programming as central to its retail identity.

The new store sits adjacent to a curated mix of local and national retailers, including Chloe Dao, Ray-Ban, and Buckle Bunny Hat Bar, as well as restaurant favorites Buttermilk Baby, Mala Sichuan, and Casa Nomad. That walkable concentration of neighboring businesses makes M-K-T Heights one of the more compelling post-practice destinations in the city.

The store will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Founded in 1998, Lululemon is popular for its yoga pants and other yoga wear, and the outdoor flow at M-K-T is a reminder that its community class roots still drive how the brand enters new markets. For Heights practitioners who want a mat spot at the grand opening, reserving early is the move.
