"After leaving a job of 20 years, I decided to do something crazy - open a women's retail boutique, which I knew nothing about. I was so excited when I discovered that Apricot Lane was a franchise! Ken Petersen, the CEO, impressed my husband and I when he came out to meet us and tour our marketplace. The training was exceptional! It provided me with everything I needed to operate the business. The opening support is just as impressive." - Cristi Hargroves, Highland Village, TX
