Lululemon is accelerating its expansion into Mexico with a dual-track strategy that combines a newly launched e-commerce platform with a significant increase in physical store openings.

The company has introduced lululemon.mx, giving customers across Mexico access to its full assortment of technical apparel, footwear, and accessories. At the same time, lululemon is expanding its store network in the country, underscoring a coordinated push to scale both digital and brick-and-mortar operations in the market.

 

The launch of lululemon.mx marks a key milestone in the brand’s efforts to build a fully integrated omnichannel presence in Mexico. The platform enables nationwide access to the brand’s product assortment, supporting markets where physical locations are still limited while complementing existing and future stores.

“Across our North America business, we are continuing to strategically invest in the growth and evolution of our omnichannel guest experience through a combination of new and elevated stores and enhanced digital capabilities,” said Carla Anderson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, North America, lululemon. “The launch of lululemon.mx, alongside our planned store expansion in Mexico, highlights an exciting next chapter in our North America growth journey. The momentum we are driving in Mexico reflects the strength and relevance of our brand within the community and signals the continued opportunity ahead as we build connected, engaging, and consistent experiences for our guests.”

The synchronized rollout of digital and physical infrastructure signals that Mexico is no longer a secondary market, but a central component of lululemon’s North American growth strategy.

 

Store Expansion Signals Long-Term Commitment

As part of its fiscal 2026 plans, lululemon expects to open approximately 15 stores across North America, including eight new locations in Mexico. By the end of the fiscal year, the company anticipates operating more than 30 stores in the country.

This level of expansion represents a meaningful allocation of new store growth to Mexico, indicating confidence in the market’s long-term potential. The strategy builds on the brand’s earlier presence in key urban centres and extends its reach into additional regions.

By pairing store openings with a national e-commerce platform, lululemon is effectively building a scalable retail ecosystem that supports both immediate access and future physical expansion.

Community-Led Approach Builds Market Presence

In parallel with its retail expansion, lululemon continues to invest in community-driven initiatives to strengthen brand awareness and engagement in Mexico.

The company recently hosted the lululemon 10K CDMX 2026 race, which attracted nearly 8,000 participants and reinforced its connection to the local running community. Earlier in the year, lululemon also brought together more than 100 Mexico-based ambassadors for a multi-day summit.

These initiatives reflect the brand’s established approach of building local communities through experiential activations and ambassador networks, supporting both customer acquisition and long-term loyalty.

Mexico Emerges as a Core Growth Market

The Lululemon Mexico expansion comes at a time when the company is increasingly looking beyond more mature markets such as Canada and the United States for growth.

Mexico is now positioned as a key driver within the company’s North American portfolio, supported by rising consumer interest in wellness and premium athletic apparel. The combination of direct-to-consumer digital access and an expanding physical footprint allows lululemon to capture demand across a broader geographic base.
