Apparel companies don’t have a good history buying technology companies. The most notable example is Under Armour with the purchase of MyFitnessPal, Endomondo and MapMyFitness.

Lululemon has one of the best owned-distribution platforms in the world. They have 489 company-owned stores that do extremely well. In 2019, their sales per square foot were $1,657, compared to the retail industry average around $325, giving them the highest sales per square foot in all of apparel.

If lululemon were buying a standalone hardware business, I’d be skeptical of their ability to turn it into a stream of subscription revenue. But Mirror immediately gives lululemon a monthly charge on consumers’ credit cards, something they didn’t have before.
