Lululemon is shutting down its Washington distribution center and laying off 128 employees after it opened a massive new warehouse outside of Los Angeles.
Lululemon is planning to shut down its Washington distribution center after opening a sprawling new warehouse outside of Los Angeles.
The athletic apparel retailer filed a WARN notice with the state's Employment Security Department on Thursday, notifying it of its plans to close its distribution center in Sumner, located about 35 miles south of Seattle, and cut 128 jobs. Layoffs will begin on June 21, the WARN notice said."As we continue to deliver on our growth strategy to meet the needs of our guests, we regularly evaluate our distribution network to help shape and support the future vision of our business.
Lululemon first started operating a warehouse in Sumner in 2010, and it appears to be the first major distribution center the company opened in the U.S. after going public in 2007, according to securities filings.The closure comes after Lululemon more than tripled its warehouse footprint in the last few years to accommodate its rapid growth.
The bulk of the growth comes from two new facilities Lululemon leased outside of Los Angeles and Toronto.
