Lululemon celebrates first store opening in Hungary

Global technical athletic brand lululemon celebrated the opening of the first store in Hungary, through its franchise partner Arion Retail Group. Located on Budapest’s renowned Fashion Street — the country’s most valuable fashion avenue and the city’s premier destination for style, culture, and urban life — this vibrant area, with its historic architectural charm and modern elegance, provides an ideal setting for lululemon’s (NASDAQ:LULU) debut location in the Hungarian market. The store officially opened its doors on Friday, 27 March 2026.

Located at Deák Ferenc Street 19, the Budapest store reflects lululemon’s commitment to technical innovation, premium guest experience, and community engagement. The 250-square-meter space is designed to create a warm and welcoming environment where guests can explore the full range of men’s and women’s collections for yoga, Pilates, running, training, tennis, golf, and everyday movement.

Opening celebrations and community activations

To celebrate the opening on Friday, 27 March, lululemon welcomed guests with a vibrant first-day experience featuring special giveaways for early visitors and live DJ performances. A coffee cart, in collaboration with local partner CAUSE Roastery offered complimentary drinks, and customers could also enjoy free pastries from SALT Bakery, adding to the festive atmosphere.

On Sunday, 29 March, the very first Empowered by lululemon event in Hungary took place at an exclusive location, the Roman Hall of the Museum of Fine Arts, led by lululemon Ambassador and yoga instructor Petraflow. Guests attending the yoga class could enjoy live piano music, special gifts, and surprise experiences.

On Saturday, 18 April, lululemon will host a community run in partnership with local training crew Habits Cult, bringing together approximately 60 runners. The run will begin and end at the Deák Ferenc Street store, where participants will enjoy refreshments and surprise treats.

Following the opening, Empowered by lululemon events, run clubs, and movement-led activations will continue throughout April and beyond, providing ongoing opportunities for engagement and connection with the local wellness community.

Building community

Beyond the opening days, the Budapest store will play a central role in the city’s active and wellness ecosystem. lululemon will collaborate with leading local fitness and wellbeing studios, including TMS Reformation Studio and studio aeden as well as new brand Ambassadors across the city. These partnerships will deliver movement-led experiences and workshops, reflecting lululemon’s holistic approach to physical, mental, and social wellbeing and establishing the store as a long-term community destination in Budapest.
