Lululemon Set to Open at The Shops at Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel

Wesley Chapel shoppers will soon have a permanent home for their favorite leggings and running gear. Lululemon is officially joining the lineup at The Shops at Wiregrass, part of a new leasing push that will bring nine upscale retailers to the open-air center along State Road 56.

The announcement, made public in mid-April 2026, positions the Canadian-based athletic brand as one of the headline additions in what property owner TriGate Capital is calling a significant tenant refresh. According to reporting from the Tampa Bay Business Journal and Business Observer, Lululemon will open alongside jewelry brand Kendra Scott and seven additional retailers still to be named.

A Pop-Up Presence Turns Permanent

Lululemon is not a stranger to Wesley Chapel. The brand has operated seasonal pop-up locations at The Shops at Wiregrass in past years, most notably drawing loyal customers during the holiday shopping season. A permanent storefront marks a major step up from those limited-time concepts and reflects the retailer’s confidence in the local market.

Known for technical fabrics, community run clubs, and free in-store yoga events, Lululemon tends to anchor the kind of active, lifestyle-driven shopping environments that align with Wiregrass’s walkable, palm-lined design.

Why Wesley Chapel Is on National Retailers’ Radar

The decision by a brand like Lululemon to plant a permanent flag in Wesley Chapel is tied directly to the community’s explosive growth. The State Road 56 corridor has become one of Pasco County’s busiest commercial arteries, fueled by new housing developments, expanding medical campuses, and a steady flow of commuters moving between Tampa and northern Pasco.

For residents, more national retailers mean fewer trips to International Plaza or Tampa Premium Outlets for major brands. For the shopping center, it means a refreshed identity aimed squarely at higher-spending local shoppers.

Quick Facts About The Shops at Wiregrass

For longtime residents the center needs no introduction, but for newcomers, here is a quick look at Wesley Chapel’s signature shopping destination.

Hours of Operation

The center keeps relatively standard mall hours, though individual store and restaurant schedules can vary, especially during the holiday season.

Restaurant and department store hours are set independently, and shoppers are encouraged to confirm with individual locations before heading out.

Popular Stores and Local Highlights

Beyond the anchor department stores, the center’s roster includes a wide mix of national favorites and specialty shops. Current tenants include Sephora, Warby Parker, Pandora, Hollister, Fabletics, White House Black Market, Soma, Talbots, Torrid, Hot Topic, and Athleta, among many others. On the dining side, popular stops include Red Robin, GrillSmith, Pinchers, Noble Crust, The Living Room, and Leonidas Chocolates & Café.

The center is also well known locally for its calendar of community programming, including the Fresh Market, car and truck shows, the Wiregrass Ranchers Kids Club, the annual St. Patrick’s Day Street Party, seasonal fairs, and Symphony in Lights, the center’s signature holiday tree lighting and nightly light show.

Part of a Bigger Refresh

The incoming wave of retailers follows an extensive update to the property’s Center Court area between Paseo Drive and Piazza Avenue, which added new landscaping, an enhanced fountain, large shaded structures, updated lighting, and fresh seating. The work was part of a broader repositioning effort launched after TriGate Capital purchased the center for $70.5 million in 2023.

What’s Next

Official opening dates for the new Lululemon at The Shops at Wiregrass have not yet been publicly released. Based on information released publicly, tenant openings and hiring ramp-ups are expected to roll out over the coming months, with Kendra Scott reportedly targeting a June 2026 debut. Wesley Chapel Community will continue tracking updates as additional retailers are announced and opening timelines are confirmed.
