Starbucks Corp. has had a bit of a roasting lately. Its stock price has nosedived from a high of $39.63 US in May 2006 to $17.89 US in March 2008, and in late January the java giant announced it was closing 100 stores in the U.S. and pulling the breakfast sandwiches it launched just a year ago.

But one guy who’s clearly been sipping the skinny lattes is Lululemon Athletica Inc. CEO Bob Meers.

It’s day two of the grand opening weekend at Bikram Yoga White Rock. The evidence of renovations – a Shop-Vac, paint cans and scattered tools – are hidden behind a closet door downstairs. The stairs lead up to a cube cabinet on which a sign is posted imploring visitors to remove their shoes.

Some pairs sit tucked into the cubbyholes while others have been kicked off and lie haphazardly on the floor. There is a tangible excitement in the air as well-wishers greet and hug Jennifer Hanover, the owner.
