Cristi Hargroves is passionate about fashion and shopping. By owning her own Apricot Lane Boutique, she can help other women experience the fun and excitement she enjoys each day. With 20 years in the customer service industry, she opened her first Apricot Lane Boutique in May 2008, and focused on making shoppers feel special the minute they walk in the door. That personal attention has brought much success, and she now owns 13 Apricot Lane Boutiques in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Cristi is dedicated to encouraging young women in their fashion careers. She works with the University of North Texas to place fashion students in her stores.
Karen has over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, both as a buyer and retail manager. In addition, she has been on the wholesale side of the business as a sales representative. Karen spends much of her time exploring new brands and the latest fashions for our stores. She interprets the latest trends in a way that is unique to Apricot Lane. She attends five markets a year in Dallas and the MAGIC show in Las Vegas twice a year. Karen is married and has one son. She lives in Coppell, TX.
Diana has been in retail since her years at Pearce High School in Richardson, Tx. Her passion for retail has given her management opportunities at Cache', Lillie Rubin, White House Black Market, and J.J. Jill. She is looking forward to bringing her clients that have shopped with her over the years to now shop with her at Apricot Lane.

Growing up in a small town in Alabama, Amanda discovered her unique style and passion for fashion at a very young age. While other kids her age were playing with barbies, you could find this Southern Belle inside her makeshift doll house devising a business plan with her 'Etch-a-Sketch,' which, consequently came in handy during her fashion endeavors years later. After studying at the University of West Florida, Amanda found herself in Pensacola, Florida and shortly after, Panama City Beach, where she assisted the opening of a boutique that quickly satisfied the craving of every hungry shopper. Those who encounter Amanda's "hands-on approach" to customer service will walk away with not only a unforgettable shopping experience, but a higher standard of what personal shopping is all about.

Hanna began her journey in retail just over seven years ago and worked her way through the ranks to land managerial positions with retailers the last five of them. Her ambitions and strong determination to fulfill a store manager position have led her to conquer as a store manager in her hometown in West Texas with Apricot Lane.
Hanna started her selling skills in Prestige cosmetics with companies Dillard’s and Ulta beauty. She had a great desire to grow and excel in management and moved up north to pursue Business Management School. This led her to grow fond of merchandising and working with high-end fashion labels quickly. With her foot in the door as Assistant manager with Apricot Lane in Frisco she soon took it upon herself to grow quickly into a team leader and landed her own store four months later back home in West Texas as the franchise expanded.
