Lululemon Open in Brandon!

Fredrickson Performance Center, located at 1212 18 Street, has added to its gym facility with a

much awaited addition to Brandon clothing stores.

As of May 15, FPC has partnered with Canadian Lululemon clothing, and is selling the entire catalogue of goods out of their fitness center. The grand opening of this addition is set for sometime early June.

“We thought it was a good fit for Brandon and our gym organization,” said Jill Fredrickson, co-founder of FPC.

Lululemon is a popular brand of clothing, selling men’s and women’s exercise apparel and casual clothing. There have been

rumours for over the last year of a Lululemon coming to the Wheat City, and now that it has happened, not many people know.

“Because we are partners with Lululemon in this venture, and it’s not a franchise outlet, we can’t do any advertising for it,” said Fredrickson, “we can’t even have the logos outside the building.”

This means that many people won’t know about the new addition unless customers and gym members spread the word, but with such an anticipated product arriving, that shouldn’t take long.

“We know that a lot of people in Brandon like wearing Lululemon clothing, and we hope to have a lot of success bringing it closer to them,” said Fredrickson.

Previously, customers had to drive to Polo Park in Winnipeg to buy their Lululemon clothing, but with this closer location Fredrickson hopes to add to what the city has to offer, and hopefully attract more members to the gym.

“People will come in and buy their clothes while they can see the gym area,” said Fredrickson, “hopefully they will see the great equipment we have to offer and sign up.”

Fredrickson Performance Center is located at 1212 18 Street, right next to the Vanguard Credit Union.
