I heard there was a pop-up lululemon shop in the Market Place mall in Champaign, Illinois. Is it still there?

same as the previous. The Lululemon pop-up has closed. But the Chicago outlet has it.

When posting a claim, it's better to reframe it as a statement, such as: Lululemon has a store in Champaign, Illinois.

True, but gone. When looking up Lululemon in Champaign on Google, a picture pops up of the Market Place mall but there is a big red box stating that the store is permanently closed. There used to be a lululemon pop-up shop, but it is not there anymore.

The Lululemon pop-up is unfortunately not at Market Place anymore. After visiting it countless times last year, I went back and saw that the shop was closed down as it was solely a temporary pop-up. If you look up Lululemon Champaign on google you can see that the shop page states that it is permanently closed.

No, there is not an official Lululemon store in champaign. There used to be a pop-up Lululemon however in 2019, but it has since closed.

The Lululemon pop-up store, which opened in 2019 in the Champaign Market Place mall, is now closed. The official Lululemon website lists it as close.

The claim used to be true.

The lululemon store closed sometime last year or earlier this year, so the nearest store is in the Chicago area! So, this is not misinformation, but the store is no longer open.

There is not a lululemon in Champaign Illinois. There’s one mall called market place mall and there’s no store or outlet in this area that’s lululemon.
