According to a press release, Ms. Day will oversee all of Lululemon's retail operations in North America and on an international basis, as well as the company's community relations, real estate development, the guest education center and wholesale businesses.

    What does coffee have to do with women's athletic apparel? Nothing. Sad to see they are hiring a person like this. The Starbucks stores have terrible operating standards. They are dirty and disgusting.

    They should have hired somebody from Nike.
