    Is this the same guy who (supposedly) specifically chose the name Lululemon because Asian people would have a hard time pronouncing it?

    edit: which it mentions in the article, hahah

      I couldn’t find that in the article?? Previous articles said it was named after LuLu Island (Richmond BC) and they chose three Ls because L names in asian cultures was seen as desirable because it represented American words. That could all be BS, but that is what I read before all of Chip’s contraversal behaviours.
