Leading women\u2019s clothing franchise, Apricot Lane Boutique<\/a>, welcomes Chris Lanning, veteran in the retail industry, as the President of Retail.<\/p>\n

Chris Lanning’s Background<\/strong>
\n\"Apricot<\/a>With 30 years retail experience in senior executive roles, Lanning has worked with several well-known national brands including GAP Inc., DWS Inc., Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works. In addition, Lanning ran his own retail consulting business for eight years.<\/p>\n

In his new role, Lanning will help Apricot Lane franchise owners maximize their sales through merchandising, customer presentation and increasing the overall customer experience.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been fortunate to work with a number of global brands, but there was something special about Apricot Lane’s approach to women’s retail that made me want to be a part of it,” Lanning said. “In today’s multi-channel era, price is not the sole factor in driving purchase intent. Providing unique, on-brand customer experiences \u2013 connecting with people \u2013 is more important than ever before. Apricot Lane offers a special and engaging in-store experience. I’m looking forward to working with franchisees on creative ways to heighten that experience; all designed to optimize sustainable profitable sales and build brand awareness.”<\/p>\n

Lanning learned about Apricot Lane through a non-profit organization called 3strands which the Apricot Lane founder, Ken Petersen, formed in 2014 to help end human trafficking. Lanning was impressed by the franchise’s commitment to making the world a better place and joined the team to put his skills to good use as well.<\/p>\n
