The business wisdom of Lululemon’s Chip Wilson

December 1st, 2009

Subject: The business wisdom of Lululemon’s Chip Wilson

Dear PROFIT-Xtra reader,

PROFIT’s “Ask the Legends” gives you an exciting opportunity to put your questions about doing business and living the entrepreneurial life to some of the greatest names in Canadian entrepreneurship.

Our next guest will be Chip Wilson, the founder and chairman of revolutionary retailer Lululemon Athletica. Just named one of Canada’s Entrepreneurs of the Decade, Wilson almost single-handedly sparked the yoga-wear craze and created a company whose customer-focused culture is the envy of retailers around the world. Headquartered in Vancouver, Lululemon now operates 110 stores in Canada, the U.S., Australia and Hong Kong and trades on the Toronto and NASDAQ stock exchanges.

Ask Chip your question, and it could appear in an upcoming issue of PROFIT, along with Chip’s answer.

The first 20 respondents will receive a complimentary copy of PROFIT. All respondents will be entered into a random draw for a complimentary, one-year subscription to PROFIT.

Sincerely,

Ian Portsmouth
