Lululemon, Currie & Bella Bella expanding
Lululemon Athletica is expanding in Baton Rouge, planting a second set of roots in the trendy Acadian Village shopping plaza and making neighbors with Trader Joe’s, Edit by LBP, and Baby Bump Maternity.

Most recently, Bella Bella has invited its customers to shop the boutique’s inventory online.
Backpacker sale
The Backpacker is hosting its annual ski sale just as our thoughts turn to winter weather fun. Those whose Mardi Gras break plans entail heading for snowy slopes will want to be among the first 40 customers through the door this Saturday, Nov. 1, to take advantage of great prices: for example, adult ski outfits for $99 and youth outfits for $79. Events are scheduled throughout the day at the Jefferson Highway shop, so be sure to stop by.
