Lululemon Athletica Inc., having won over millions of women with its high-priced yoga gear, wants to keep growth going by chasing men.

The chain will start opening standalone men’s stores by 2016, Chief Executive Officer Christine Day said today in a presentation at a William Blair & Co. conference in Chicago. Her comments followed an announcement earlier this week that she’s retiring from the Vancouver-based company once the board finds a successor.
