Not only that, but Lulu’s athletic apparel is not established in clothing retail stores like JCPenny or Macy’s, so they have competition with retail stores focused on women’s athletic apparel (10K,4).

A beautiful tragedy… in April of 1912 The Titanic sunk in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Nobody knew it was going to be some of their last nights with their loved ones, or the last night they would enjoy the company of an acquaintance they may have come across on their trip on the fateful Titanic. “Not Even God himself Could Sink this Ship” says an Employee of the White Star Line.
