Closed for Business: Lululemon Athletica, 472 Bergen Street
Wednesday, June 5, 2025 at 7:47AM Lululemon, the Vancouver-based high-end athletic clothing shop on the stretch of Bergen Street between Fifth and Flatbush and the brand's only Brooklyn location, closed down last weekend.
The yoga gear "showroom" (smaller than most of its other 200-plus locations), was one of the first shops to move onto this block--which is owned by neighborhood uber-landlord Michael Pintchik--after its full-scale renovation into a high-profile, high-rent retail stretch. It's joined by Bark, Bergen Street Comics, a bike shop, a couple clothing stores (including a maternity shop), Babeland, and Sun in Bloom. Pintchik has always been selective in his choice of tenants, and this stretch is as diverse as any.
Storefront space on this portion of the block doesn't open up too often, so it'll be interesting to see what comes into this space next. As for Lululemon, there are eight other locations in Manhattan, and they'll soon be opening a location much further down the street, on the corner of Bergan and Smith.

It was a pretty small store with very limited sizes and they didn't accept cash.
Where will I ever get my ridiculously overpriced and shoddily made Yoga gear now? Drat.
They didn't accept cash?????
There's no for rent sign, I wouldn't be surprised if they already have a new tenant lined up.
Never liked that store Lululemon, it's very overpriced for what is essentially spandex clothing used to work out. Hopefully something more interesting will come in there.
Hey folks,
They are opening a Brooklyn Flagship in Cobble Hill. That's why it closed.
Yea, the post mentions that in the last pragraph, "new store"
They didn't accept cash - I couldn't figure out if they had been robbed or the volume was too low to make change but no cash.
Lululemon was not one of the first on that block.
Rumor is another Gorilla Coffee.
I thought it was illegal to refuse cash for payment. That's what the "legal tender" language is about.
I think that's why it was not technically a store but a "showroom," Utz lover.
Loved their free run club & yoga classes tho! Those will be missed!!
@psgal - Yeah, gonna miss looking at those $100 see-thru yoga pants during those free classes.
(Sigh)....
This is really sad. My ass has always looked so nicely shaped in their clothes, plus you really go without the smell of fresh-from-running armpit as you'd find at Jackrabbit's.
