I can't tell you how amazing this 1 of 3 stores is, operated by the also amazing owner Jena Green. Every time I come into these stores, I leave feeling that I got the best help I could have gotten. The staff is all so amazing and I feel that when I ask for their opinion I get the most honest answer I could get. They really tell me how their product looks on me instead of feeding me a bunch of nonsense just to get a sale. I absolutely love going into these stores! A personal experience of mine was that when I was shopping for engagement picture outfits, the girls let me go in the back to look at the clothing that hadn't even been marked with a price yet!! What store would let a customer do that?!?! Ummm.... Apricot Lane does, that's who!!! Everyone always has a smile and is eager to help me! As for Jena herself, she is the reason these stores are the way they are! Even though I have never personally met her, she has helped me with a couple problems that I have encountered. From a broken necklace to return help. I can't get enough of this beauty!! Everyone needs to quit what they are doing right now and head on over to these stores! Or go to their website!! The website has items that aren't even in the stores yet! Oh and follow Jena's new blog too!! She gives amazing tips and tricks for everything!!! Go go go!!! read more

It saddens me that people hide behind a computer and post such rude comments. I have been shopping with this boutique since opening day, and I've never once been disappointed! If you have been a long time customer, you would know that they are going through a law suit and had to shut down their website. Due to this, their phones ring off the hook and they have a hard time meeting the needs on social media outlets for their customers. Most times I have been in, the staff is so busy that they don't have time to be snoody or look like they are better than me (based on comments below). The merchandise is great quality, and if you are an avid fashionista you would know that their prices are AMAZING compared to other local boutiques. Their prices are honestly even better than most online boutiques! I wouldn't listen to any of the posts below, clearly those customers are insecure! This shop has adorable merchandise, friendly staff, and they have an amazing social media presence. Give these part time college gals a break, they are doing their very best waiting on customers while their phones ring off the hook! Keep rockin on ALP! read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Apricot Lane Peoria, IL and its two sister stores located in Champagne-Urbana and Bloomington-Normal, IL. I absolutely love their style and their excellent costumer service makes it so easy to shop both online as well as order through the stores. I am from out of state and though there are several Apricot Lane franchise stores nearby they do not compare to AL Peoria and I do not hesitate paying shipping cost to purchase something from their stores when I'm not quick enough to snag something online where they offer free shipping. The staff has always gone above and beyond and are incredibly friendly when talking to them through messaging assisting me in making sure I pick the right size for me for in-store purchases. This is where you need to shop for the latest trends and in style fashion, they know what they are doing and I do the majority of my shopping with them! read more

I have been shopping with Apricot Lane Peoria for over 5 years. I absolutely love their clothes and the customer service. I shop at all the stores Jena is the buyer/franchise owner for (Bloomington, Peoria, and Champaign). I'm not local to any of the stores so if I see something they post via social media I just give the store a call and they'll pull it off the floor for me, grab my card number and it's shipped so fast. The girls who work in the warehouse are so great at letting customers know what's coming and what styles will be on trend. I can honestly say half my wardrobe is from Apricot Lane and I get compliments all the time on my clothes. Thanks Jena and all the girls who work so hard to notify customers of new arrivals and get all the orders out so fast! read more

Absolutely love this store. First off I would like to rave about their website. They give you previews of everything they are going to post on social media, so join their Facebook and Instagram to get ahead of everything you want. They offer free shipping on everything even if you just order a hat. I ordered a bunch of stuff on cyber Monday to give as presents and got my package only 2 days later! They are constancy adding new inventory so unlike most commercial stores so can always buy new things. I'm also in my 30's and want to say that I find tons of items that are not only super cute and comfy but appropriate for me to wear. I always get compliments on their clothing and tell everyone where I got it from. Love Love this store. read more

I have been shopping with Apricot Lane Peoria for the last four years online and through Facebook as I live in Iowa. They have always given me AMAZING customer service by messaging me immediately if I want to purchase an item that is in store only or getting it shipped out in an extremely quick and timely manner! Jena does a wonderful job of picking items. As a Mommy there are items I can wear every day but also items I can wear when I want to feel sexy for a date or girls night out! Their products are of good quality for the price! I have so many items I've worn over and over again and are still in AMAZING shape! Will continue to purchase from both the store and online site! read more

Great addition to the peoria area. One of their best assets is the friendly and always sweet Ashley, who has been a manager and does a lot of the photography. Each time I've been in the store when she was there, she made me feel incredibly welcome. Always love friendly service over forced (I.e. commission driven clothing stores). Never had an issue when in the store, the ladies have always been friendly and clothing wasn't something you would find at other peoria locations. I have been a customer since shortly after they opened years ago and have friends from other states and locations who continually purchase from AL peoria. read more

I have had nothing but great service from this store. Growing up in Illinois there used to be one in Springfield but it closed. When I moved to Ohio I was searching for one and finally found this store through being a Stylist with Stella and Dot. The quality of the clothes and style is simply amazing! I had placed an order for over night shipping for a family picture and some how my package got delivered to the wrong address. The girls were so helpful in getting my package delivered back to me and continually called and checked in to make sure I got it. Never have I had better customer service. Keep up the great work!! read more

Leaving a yelp review, as many of these reviews are dated and I feel the current score is completely unwarranted. I have been shopping here since the store opened 8 years ago and I appreciate the time Jena, the owner puts in to thoughtfully curating her pieces. She is constantly honest about how things fit, and she employs those who want to go about and beyond to help us ladies feel beautiful and confident in our purchases. The stores and website now have the same shipping policies and it is great to be able to call a friendly voice to order or ask a question when the website items sell out. Thanks ALB team! read more

I cannot say enough good things about ALP! I have never been disappointed with quality, style, or customer service. When ever I order online, I always get my items super fast and the only times I have had to return things have been due to me ordering the wrong size. If I ever message them on FB or Instagram, I am always promptly answered and they are super friendly as well! Jena herself always answers questions and you can tell she is super involved and passionate about her stores. I recommend ALP to everyone and am so happy I can order from them even though I live 2 hours away! read more

My favorite boutique! When I lived in Peoria I would pop in weekly and never leave empty handed. I've since moved and get compliments all the time on my outfit. 99% of the time it's curtesy of Apricot lane, Peoria. Any time I had a special event they were my first choice. No matter who was working, they jumped right in to help pick out outfits to try on and accessories to match. Miss being able to pop in like I did, but luckily I can get my fix through their online site. I've been to other apricot lanes around and nothing compares to Apricot Lane Peoria! read more

I've been shopping with Apricot Lane for over 4 years. There isn't a better boutique out there. They are truthful about the sizes and how they run. Customer service is always excellent and the girls are always willing to help with whatever I need when I am in store. Apricot Lane is so trendy and affordable. I ordered 3 new tops online Friday around 11am and they were on my doorstep Saturday. SUPER QUICK shipping always!! Love Apricot Lane and all the girls that bust their butts to please each and every customer and make it such a fun place to shop!! read more

Apricot Lane is a fantastic store. I do the majority of my shopping with AL. I only shop within Jena Greens stores though. I shop online and in stores and I have NEVER had an issue. I have had things fit differently but that is due to me ordering online or not trying on and the best part is if I order online I can return it in any of the stores! Apricot Lane is my favorite place to shop and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Thanks so much for your fantastic customer service ladies! I will continue to come back and send others your way! read more

I've been shopping at AL Peoria since day one! I've never had any issues with customer service or quality of clothes, shoes, etc. The staff goes above and beyond to make customers happy and I'm always greeted when entering the store. They always have the cutest clothes in the area and it's my "go-to" place to shop. Love going to a store where they know you by name! In fact, my fiancé has gone in countless times as well and staff has always done a great job helping him out!! Per the usual, I'll be back in store soon! read more

I consider myself a fashionista, and who doesn't love "style for a steal?!" Not only does Apricot Lane offer great clothing at great prices, but their customer service is AMAZING!! I live out of state, and every time I call to place an order, it's like I've walked right into the store! These girls make you feel right at home, they've helped me with sizing, and have even suggested new items that I would like too! Online shopping is my thing, but this store, and its owner Jena, take it to a whole new level!!! read more

I love following ALP on Instagram to shop their inventory (now available to shop online!) and get style trends! Customer service is excellent. On a few occasions I've had to contact their team for a mistake I've made at checkout (only a fault of my own) and they respond immediately with the problem fixed. Have had to return one item in the past and the return was simple! But 9/10 all items work out and I get tons of compliments when I wear them!! Can't wait for the spring line to launch this week!! read more

Apricot Lane Peoria gets 5+ stars in my book. Whether I'm shopping in store (I'm not local, so it doesn't happen often), over the phone, on Facebook or Instagram the girls are amazing. They're very helpful, with questions about color, size and fit. They're very friendly! I've never had an issue. Everything seems to fit perfectly, so I've never had to return a thing (but rumor has it, returning items is a piece of cake when done so according to store policy)! Shop APL - you won't be disappointed:) read more

When I first started shopping online with Apricot Lane I was unaware this was a franchise. Since I have only shopped online and don't have a store near me I can tell you the girls that work at the Apricot Lane in Peoria are beyond amazing! With every order, every question they have gone above and beyond to make sure I am not only happy with my order but happy with my experience! They carry great quality clothing and it is obvious they focus their employees on having great customer service! read more

This boutique is literally my favorite boutique I have ever shopped at. I haven't found another that even comes close to comparing. I'm out of state and purchase everything over the phone or online and they have made the process so convenient. The staff and owner are wonderful, and go above and beyond to make sure their customers are taken care of. Their inventory is fabulous, keeping up with the seasonal trends, along with the best basics. Cannot say enough exceptional things about AL! read more
