lululemon to move at Bethesda Row, Read Wall heads upstairs

lululemon will move into the just-vacated Read Wall space at Bethesda Row "in a few months," a store employee said Thursday. The reason for the move, the employee explained, is to expand the size of the store.

Read Wall, as a commenter suggested here yesterday, is actually the retailer moving into the vacant Make Meaning space at the corner of Bethesda Avenue and Hagar Lane. They did a fake-out by placing a lone Alden of New England sign in the window a day earlier, but in fact, it is Read Wall that is moving into the upstairs space. Not fake is the 20% off sale Read Wall is currently holding on custom suits.

lululemon LOCATION REVEALED AT WESTFIELD MONTGOMERY MALL (PHOTOS)

We knew lululemon athletica was coming to Westfield Montgomery Mall, but now we know where. The high-end yoga apparel boutique will be located next to the Tesla store, on the lower level. lululemon already has a downtown Bethesda location, at Bethesda Row. The Westfield Montgomery Mall store will open this fall, when True Religion will also open on the lower level.

LULULEMON COMING TO WESTFIELD MONTGOMERY MALL

lululemon athletica is the latest Bethesda Row business to expand to Westfield Montgomery Mall. I've confirmed the upscale yoga wear retailer is opening a store at the mall this year. Where? I would most likely bet on the vacant space where GameStop used to be, on the upper level near the food court. Another spot could be by the Tesla Store on the lower level, but I would expect a lululemon to be fairly sizable in square footage.

Other Bethesda Row businesses to get a sister location at Montgomery Mall recently? Lilly Pulitzer (The Pink Palm), Kraze Burgers (now closed in downtown Bethesda), and Francesca's Collections.
