Coco and Company was highly recommended from several individuals prior because of a particular…read moreinterest. I took it upon myself two weekends ago to visit the location. As I entered the store one store attendant greeted me and I quickly responded with a hello. While browsing the surrounding I noticed a second store attendant in my peripheral shuffling the clothes. I immediately knew what that signifies sadly. She slowly made her way over to me while to ask if I am finding everything. I responded that I am looking for a particular item, which she directed me to the specific location in the store. It saddens me that for my first visit to this establishment that came highly recommended and received that type of a reception. Unfortunately I will not be visiting ever again and will not be recommending anyone either because of this experience.

I had to ask someone if I could put my items in the dressing room as she didn't even acknowledge my presence and that I was holding more than 1 item in my hand (the store was not crowded at the time), When at the counter purchasing my items (which totaled around $300) neither said "thank you" - they both seemed bothered or weren't even courteous enough to say "have a nice day" - they both just turned around and left the counter without a word. I am in retail myself and found the whole experience a total "turn-off" - if we treated our customers that way, we would have no customers. Very unfortunate - I will think twice about returning to shop at Apricot Lane Boutique.

I told the gentleman what I came for. It's a Thursday May 08. He said they were not accepting the coupon because they were busy with orders for mother's day.

I wish I would've read the horrible reviews before stopping in. I will be making my purchases at a different Edible Arrangements from now on.

Had no idea when it would be there.. obviously my mom wasn't there to receive the chocolates so I had to tell my husband to bring them inside. When I asked my mom how they were she said the pineapple was too hard and the strawberries were too soft and didn't taste right. I did call the business and was told the manager would call me back (this was 2 days ago). I haven't received a call from anyone. I would also like to note i did speak to the staff member who prepared the pineapple and she said they do use the core. I'm not sure why I'm paying for a pineapple core... but I guess my moms review was accurate. She said it was too tough and tasted like the core and nothing else.

The back third of the store is kids and baby stuff, and the front has lots of accessories and beautiful, tasteful, decorative items (think pretty soap dishes and shiny jewelry) to revel at.
