I had always wanted to open a Boutique and at one time actually thought I would just open one on my own. One day while researching Boutique Franchises I discovered the Apricot Lane Franchise. What a blessing that I decided to pick up the phone that day and make the call. After talking with them I knew immediately they would help me turn a life-long-dream into a reality. Making a smart investment and good financial decisions were very important to me and I learned quickly that the Apricot Lane Franchise would help me accomplish that. The entire process took about eight months and the Apricot Lane support staff was there with me every step of the way. Now, after more than I year into this I am so happy to say I could not have had the success I do without the wonderful resources and support the Apricot Lane Franchise has given me. The owner, Ken Petersen and his staff are the most down to earth folks that I have ever met. I love that they stand for the same values I do, which was what really sealed the deal for me. My advice to anyone considering opening a Boutique in the future is to find a great partner that has experience in the business. With that said, I highly recommend the Apricot Lane Franchise
